The Ides of March

A young idealistic press secretary believes in the democratic process.  He is zealously committed to his candidate, his candidates integrity, and knows they can win.  As his ego in his own campaign grows he makes a couple of mistakes that may cost him the election.

I absolutely enjoyed this and am somewhat hesitant to give too many details away.  First of all, George Clooney and Ryan Gosling?  Already I like it.  Second, they are all so perfectly cast.  They do such a great job, you forget that Clooney isn't really running for President.  The best part of this though, is that it shows the politics behind the politics and does it in an almost graceful way that neither glorifies it nor belittles the game but the players.

Really well written, well played, well cast, well done.
