The Ides of March
Rent & Buy
Dirty tricks stand to soil an ambitious young press spokesman's idealism in a cutthroat presidential campaign where 'victory' is relative.
What critics thought
The Ides of March earns considerable respect for its performances and the confident, polished craft Clooney brings to directing, but critics were divided on whether its cynical vision of political betrayal amounts to anything more than a sleek, well-oiled machine running toward a predetermined conclusion. The gap between its high-toned atmosphere and the thinness of its actual political insight was the central point of contention.
“less an allegory of the American political process than a busy, foggy, mildly entertaining antidote to it”
