Confederate States of America (R) 6.5

C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America (2004): Through the eyes of a british "documentary", this film takes a satirically humorous, and sometimes frightening, look at the history of an America where the South won the Civil War. (6.4)

Director: Kevin Willmott
Stars: Greg Kirsch, Renee Patrick and Molly Graham

This is satire (mocumentary) at its best. The attention to detail is what keeps it entertaining and the movie premise going for 90 minutes. At times, you can't help but wonder if the actors delivering the lines were splitting up in laughter or crying at the irony of it all right after the scene was filmed. What brings a bit of scare into the satire are the grains of truth listed at the end of the movie. Yeah, just ask Aunt Jemimah and Uncle Ben. My Rating: 6.5
