As for Clooney, when he steps from behind the camera, his candidate exudes an easy, judicious authority. Oct 7, 2011 | Rating: 3/4

This is intelligent filmmaking, and a provocative moral fable. It may not be perfect, but it stands as one of the better, most realistic movies about the way we elect our leaders. Oct 7, 2011 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

[The Ides of March] is very playlike: It's based on the stage show Farragut North by Beau Willimon. But that feeling doesn't harm the film, as Clooney stages all the confrontations -- the movie is full of them -- with a deft hand. Jan 4, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…
