A regular yawn-fest. Despite its stellar cast, this film is a waste of talented actors. The plot never goes anywhere and it's annoyingly tedious.

a dream cast pull out all the stops to deliver a riveting political drama - Ryan Gosling is a standout, Philip Seymour Hoffman, R.I.P., shows why he will be sorely missed, George Clooney, Paul Giamatti, Evan Rachel Wood, Marisa Tomei,…

Given that it's a Hollywood film starring George Clooney and about a Democratic presidential primary race I wondered if the film would sugar coat the Democrats. I don't think it does. One example is Gov. Morris' (Clooney) nonsensical…

A decent movie, but it just reminds me of the BS that goes on in politics which I think is despicable and I don't feel is very entertaining.

I was looking forward to this movie, based on previews that I had seen while watching other movies. Honestly, not what I expected. The storyline is flat and doesn't really go anywhere. Little character development and not all lose ends are…

Director George Clooney heads an outstanding cast in this contemporary fable about power, corruption, and the seductive illusion of moral compromise. With droning newscasts and patriotic photo-ops in the background, Clooney’s passionate…

I liked that the Democrats, who are the media darlings, turned out to be the evil empire.

I must have seen at least half-a-dozen political films, going back to Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. They are never great films, never convince you that you are watching human beings working out their fates--it's always about vote-getting,…

This film tells quite the truth about American politics and her dark sides .... and it is especially heart-breaking to see Philips Seymour Hoffman here because of his recent death. His acting was just so fit in here and resonant with those…

An idealistic staffer for a new presidential candidate gets a crash course on dirty politics during his stint on the campaign trail.

Politics is a dirty biz. What a ride.

There’s not too much that is new in this story about dishonest politicians. Nevertheless, “The Ides of March” has a good cast and script.

This one is watchable but nothing special. The acting is okay but the story is not very interesting so I don't recommend it.

THis movie is not a novel one or unique in any way but it spoke to me and a particular quality i have with people places and things. Some may say that Ryan's character was naive and maybe he was but it shouldn't have a negative skew. He…

Ryan Gosling and Phillip Seymour Hoffman are very good in this movie. I am glad I saw the movie, but wouldn't see it again.

The plot is a bit thin as a political thriller and the turns of events evolved without more intrigue ... it might have happened during the early 90's, before 9/11 and without social networks and smartphones.
