Expectations should be aligned properly before viewing this movie. Please don't expect it to be historically accurate. Most of it is not. With that being said, it is a movie. In that right, it is quite entertaining.

The Current War aims to tell the story of the battle between Edison and Westinghouse in the race to electrify American and the world.

Period pieces can be tricky, as just small details can throw the entire feel of the film into disarray that the viewer has to struggle to regain the composure of. The Current War does a great job of not tasking the crowd with this. All of the costumes are wonderful, the sets, the automobiles, architecture...all of it is absolutely spot on. Truth be told, that's nowhere near an easy task even in this digital age.

My hope is that viewing this movie might spark some renewed interest in the events surrounding the world depicted throughout the film. There are many layers to the actual store that are fascinating, and helped build America into what it became.
