Review of The Ides of March (2011) by The3Academysins — 18 Nov 2018
A great pre-Trump era political thriller with a killer script and electrifying performances by Ryan Gosling, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Evan Rachel Wood, Paul Giamatti, and George Clooney. Clooney also directed the film, and his direction is immaculate. For being a 7 year old drama, it looks very good!
In today's political climate, the story feels almost quaint. Trump has cast such a shadow over the American political system that it is almost laughable to hear characters talk about honor and loyalty. I guess that is why this film has aged so incredibly well: in the end, the villain wins.
Fans of political dramas and great movies should make The Ides of March a must-see.
