Absorbing and provocative film with a thoughtful, cutting sense of humor. With the exception of JFK, I'd say the director does a great job constructing a plausible parallel history that incorporates actual historical figures. Should we Absorbing and provocative film with a thoughtful, cutting sense of humor. With the exception of JFK, I'd say the director does a great job constructing a plausible parallel history that incorporates actual historical figures. Should we just be happy the South lost? Or did the USA post-1865 take on more aspects of the CSA than most of us care to admit?… Expand

This is the first time I've watched a film and felt like I was actually in the movie. The film will move you in your seat.

The film will move you in your seat. It brings out the reality of our past in a humorous way that keeps you wanting to know more. The detail depicted in this film is impeccabe. Don't miss out on this oppurtunity to open yourself up to the past, to make our present grander!… Expand

Feels like an exploitation of exploitation in the guise of provoking thought. Plays for laughs what a documentary would reveal as unlaughable.

C.S.A. is an excellent satirical-historical product, cleverly using the Ken Burns' style of documentary making. I am pleased to have found it, and plan to share it with my friends. I fail to understand some other viewers' negative reactionC.S.A. is an excellent satirical-historical product, cleverly using the Ken Burns' style of documentary making. I am pleased to have found it, and plan to share it with my friends. I fail to understand some other viewers' negative reaction to the film. I offer a compound question to them: Do you not understand satire or are you simply an ignorant, defensive racist? America has more than its share of ignoramuses and bigots. Such creatures will not find C.S.A. appealing.… Expand

Worst movie I've ever watched. Based on speculation, fantasy and ignorance! With the same old promotion of the black - white racist issue that we are all tired of because it holds no truth! It seems that there actually are people who do Worst movie I've ever watched. Based on speculation, fantasy and ignorance!

The most raciest piece of trash I have ever seen by a wide margin. Everyone connected with this movie should be beaten. Written criticism is too good for them.

The absolute worst movie I've ever seen. I've come across more creative and interesting writing from students in middle school. I'm surprised they were able to find actors to say such silly things.

Interesting and i would recommend seeing- but the budet, including the use of several actors in mutliple roles, made it feel more like a film school graduating thesis.

The Village Voice blurb above is very true, but I think the movie was much better than just average. It has a lot of dark comedy in...I laughed while others didnt at times...and by the end, I felt rewarded for watching the film.

A rather frightening account of a country that never woke up from their nightmare; in a world we so nearly missed and one in which people like an above reviewer wish did exist.

considering the low/no budget factor this is an amazing work of thought provoking, humor induced material.
