The Candidate

About This Movie

So, The Candidate from 2016 is an intriguing little comedy that dives into the world of political image-making. You got this team of advisers crafting an entire persona for some wealthy businessman named Marchand who’s looking to run for president. The atmosphere is a mix of satire and absurdity, with this underlying tension as secrets unravel. It’s interesting how the film captures the absurdity of social media culture and how it affects public figures. The pacing has its moments of sharp wit, but there are also sections where it feels a bit drawn out. The performances are good, not overly flashy but enough to keep you engaged as the layers peel back, revealing the truths behind these crafted identities. Definitely a curious watch.
