The Imperiled Women of Alex Garland’s Films

The writer-director’s acclaimed movies focus on nuanced, layered protagonists who don’t succumb to “Strong Female Character” cliches. A big reason his latest, Civil War, doesn’t work as well is it’s the first time he’s viewed one of his heroines so narrowly.
