PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"Poised between politics and thriller, this morality tale from Clooney & Co. is illuminated by a terrific ensemble cast (...) Classy and professional throughout, the technical work gracefully holds all the threads together" (Deborah Young: The Hollywood Reporter)

----------------------------------------
"[An] intriguing but overly portentous drama, which seems far more taken with its own cynicism than most viewers will be (...) the terrific cast isn't always seen to its best advantage" (Justin Chang: Variety)

----------------------------------------
"Clooney the director brings his actor's experience to the job and attends closely to performance. The impression remains, however, that he believes this movie to be more of an expose than it is (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times)

----------------------------------------
"It's tempting to praise The Ides of March as a realistic depiction of how low we've sunk. But that would mean accepting the second-rate writing and third-rate melodrama and incredible shrinking characters. (David Edelstein: New York Magazine)

----------------------------------------
"The adrenalin rush of The Ides of March provides a sexy alternative to most mainstream political movies about dirty politics" (Rex Reed: The New York Observer)
