The film uses the presidential election as the theme story, revealing the sunshine and gloom of politics. The first half of the film is very gorgeous and glamorous. With the development of the plot and the change of Stephen's fate, it gradually reveals the illusory morality and dirty transactions hidden under the gorgeousness. The wonderful performances of a group of actors also brought splendor to the film. Actors such as Philip Seymour Hoffman, etc., although there are not many roles, they are also quite sharp.
The film is extremely delicate. On the surface, it looks like a movie full of politics, but in fact the story of the film is more about morality. The basic segments of the film are familiar to the audience, and the film can be summed up as a contest between "high handsome and rich" and "short, ugly, poor". The success of the film is largely due to its professionalism, and the performance of a group of supporting actors completely highlights the atmosphere of the entire film. Technical professionalism and precision allowed Clooney to integrate many elements together to shoot this pure, direct and simple movie.
