The Candidate (2022) dives into the chaotic world of university politics, where ambition drives two students to compete for the New College presidency. The film strikes a balance between comedy and drama, blending humorous moments with sharper, more serious undertones. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, reflecting the often tumultuous nature of student elections. The performances feel genuine, capturing that youthful energy and desperation to succeed. What stands out is the way it navigates themes of friendship, rivalry, and personal integrity amidst the backdrop of college life. Practical effects? Mostly minimal, but you won't miss them given the strong character dynamics and real locations that lend authenticity to their struggles.
