POSITIVES…
- The whole cast is good in this, from Hugh Jackman, Vera Farmiga, Molly Ephraim, to J.K. Simmons, and many others.
- It’s an interesting historical event to revisit, especially when compared to the political climate of today.
- While the trailer might suggest a singular thematic message in this story, there are actually some other significant topics that this movie brings up, that are absolutely worth discussing.
- Gives us some insight into election campaigns and the people involved in it.

NEGATIVES…
- A huge chunk at the beginning of this movie covers a lot of that campaign jargon and going-ons, that were just boring to watch.
- Despite the good intentions and adept filmmaking, the movie just felt dull and unexciting.
- Just about all the best dramatic parts found in this movie are already showcased in the trailer.

P.S….
- Fun fact for fans of the TV show “Last Man Standing.” Molly Ephraim and Kaitlyn Dever are both in this movie. Since you won’t be seeing both of them on that TV show together anymore.
