Overview

• ‘Warfare’ is based on the memories of Navy SEALs involved in a 2006 mission in Ramadi, Iraq, co-directed by veteran Ray Mendoza and filmmaker Alex Garland.
• The film employs a real-time narrative structure, avoiding dramatic embellishments to authentically depict the chaos and brutality of modern combat.
• Currently available exclusively in theaters, the film is expected to follow A24’s typical release model, arriving on premium VOD in May and streaming on Max in July.
• Critics have praised the film’s technical execution and unflinching portrayal of combat, though some note its lack of broader context or character development.
• Mendoza has described the film as a tribute to his injured comrade Elliott Miller and a potential conversation starter for veterans and civilians alike.
