The Ides of March, 2011. Presidential campaign staff are mean to each other. Directed by George Clooney. Written by Clooney, Grant Heslov & Beau Willimon, based on a play by Willimon. Starring Ryan Gosling, George Clooney, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti & Evan Rachel Wood.
Concept: 1/4 (Bad). As if real campaigns aren't depressing enough.
Story: 3/4 (Good)
Characters: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Dialog: 3/4 (Good)
Pacing: 3/4 (Good)
Cinematography: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 3/4 (Good).
Music: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Subjective Rating: 4/10 (Eh, 2/4). A strange mix of tedious tropes, moralizing, and relatively-well-crafted misery. It has it's moments, I guess. It also has a little something for everyone to hate.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.4/4 (Okay)
