The Plot:
The Presidential election season is in full swing. Gov. Mike Morris (George Clooney) is fighting for his party’s nomination. Stephen Myers (Ryan Gosling) is Morris’ hot-shot staffer whose energy and intellect has made him a feared adversary in the opposition’s camp.
As the campaign trail lengthens and stresses multiply, Myers’ mettle is tested as lessons are learned in the unforgiving, devious world of politics.
Kent’s Take:
“The Ides of March” is a coming-of-age story set in a cunning political environment.
Stephen Myers’ idealistic views of his candidate, Gov. Mike Morris, are both quaint and naive at the outset.... The Ides of March-Reelworld (Kent Tentschert/Carol Hemphill)
