Reviews:
"Clooney does a good job opening up the ideas Willimon first explored onstage, but the result is still a pessimistic truth so universally acknowledged that it doesn't bear repeating, however stylishly" - Washington Post
"The Ides of March is a pulse-racing thriller that hits where it hurts. Clooney's performance is exceptional and Gosling is terrific in an all-stops-out role" - Rolling Stone
"A dryly gripping thriller, as intelligent, professional and well-groomed as its director-star. Just don't expect to learn anything new" - Film4
