Review of The Candidate (1972) by James M — 24 Jan 2014
I might have enjoyed this more if I had any interest at all in American Politics, but the simple truth is, I don't.
Nevertheless, it's a well-made and well-written political comedy about a young, liberal civil rights lawyer (Robert Redford), who is convinced to run for an upcoming campaign for senator. He wins the hearts of the Californian people by tailoring to the needs that matter to them.
Perhaps you have to be an American to truly appreciate this movie. It just didn't really do anything for me.
