Bravo. Gorgeous George has done it again. Not much with his performance this time but with his directing skills. This is his best work after Good Night, and Good Luck of 2005. Like Good Night, and Good Luck, Clooney does not take the upper hand in this one as well. The entire script revolves around Ryan Gosling who does an incredible job. This young man is surely and slowly making his mark. He is cool, composed and more importantly focused in his character. The entire cast has been picked wondrously and each of them execute their roles to perfection. In fact, this movie stars several Academy Award winners including Clooney himself. One thing is for sure George Clooney isn't just a pretty face. He knows his piece very well and acts accordingly. Giamatti and Hoffman are one of the best natural actors ever born. You give them any roles and they will perform no matter what.
But the star of this movie is definitely Gosling. The plot is rather simple but the story kinks itself in a dramatic way. The one message this movie conveys is that no matter how good or honest a politician displays himself to be, he or she has always a dark and suppressible background.
This is a very important movie indeed but this is not for everybody to enjoy.
8/10
