The Ides of March ★★★☆☆ A skillful film, but grim, tense and bitter ∞
Just when you thought you couldn’t get any more cynical about politics! Some of my favourite actors are in this film, especially Philip Seymour Hoffman and Paul Giamatti. There’s scarcely anything wrong with this film as a film, but I can’t love it: it’s just too bleak.
