Journey into the gritty, unfiltered reality of modern combat as we dive deep into A24’s “Warfare,” the latest harrowing war film from Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza. In this discussion, we unpack the film’s raw authenticity, emotional impact, and unique production—from its absence of a traditional soundtrack to the real-life experiences that inspired it. With personal reflections on war, politics, and the true cost of conflict, this film brings a much-needed, human perspective to the stories most war movies dare not tell.
