The Ides of March
In the tradition of movie classics The Candidate, Advise and Consent and The Best Man, Clooney plays presidential candidate Governor Mike Morris whose ground-breaking ideas could change the political landscape.
Idealistic campaign worker Stephen Meyers (Ryan Golsing – Drive) has sworn
to give his all for Morris; however when a brutal Ohio primary threatens to test
the Governor’s integrity, Stephen gets trapped in the down-and-dirty
battle.
He also finds himself caught up in a scandal involving a young intern (Evan
Rachel Wood – The Wrestler) – and realises his only path to survival is to
play both sides.

- " The most challenging aspect of watching The Ides of March may very well be that it all feels too frighteningly real. " – Richard Propes
- " It is a truly intriguing political drama that impresses us from start to finish. " – Yasser Medina
