The Ides of March Reviews
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Smart and solidly entertaining, thanks to one of the year's top ensemble casts working at the top of its game.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
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.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
As for Clooney, when he steps from behind the camera, his candidate exudes an easy, judicious authority.
San Jose Mercury News
Charlie McCollum
This is intelligent filmmaking, and a provocative moral fable. It may not be perfect, but it stands as one of the better, most realistic movies about the way we elect our leaders.
Detroit News
Tom Long
The Ides of March is a well-made actors showcase and fine film. But it never finds that more.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
At its best, the film is like a political version of Sweet Smell of Success, another movie where the corruption was so rampant it gleamed.
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
Real shame about the ending, but the rest of the movie is just marvelous.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
It has disdain for the process, showing the inherent hypocrisy living inside the political system and the corruptive influence it can have on the lives and mores of seeming innocents caught up within its withering whirlpools of self-aggrandizement.

Leonard Maltin
The Ides of March has star-power on its side, with Clooney and Gosling in the leads, but even if people are attracted to theaters by their presence they're not likely to leave feeling satisfied...
Bitch Media
Kelsey Wallace
Morris and Meyers may have treated Stearns as disposable, but the filmmakers shouldn't have, and we as viewers shouldn't have to either.
indieWire
Leonard Maltin
The world of politics provides all the drama-and satiric fodder-any filmmaker could ask for. And even though the public has shown indifference to such movies in recent years, Hollywood keeps making them...
The Atlantic
Christopher Orr
From the film's ideological vantage point, moderate Democrats are Machiavellian devils, and Republicans are an inconceivable evil looming on a distant horizon, like the White Walkers in Game of Thrones.
Film.com
William Goss
Just about every other scene in the film is a simple pleasure unto itself between the equally confident writing, direction and performances.
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
Clooney evocatively captures the cynicism about the system, optimism that something can be done to improve it, and grim ends/means practicality about arbitraging the gap.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Clooney has a keen eye for a good story. With this, his fourth turn as a director, he has chosen wisely.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Almost a political drama of the caliber of Gore Vidal's "The Best Man," but it's not quite. However, it is the movie to recommend to adults looking for something that's topical and intelligent and that will keep them guessing.
Slate
Dana Stevens
Beware The Ides of March. This slick political thriller, the fourth directorial effort of the velvet-voiced heartthrob and aspiring auteur George Clooney, adds up to less than it appears to be at first glance, or even the first several glances.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
Barely works due to the sheer force of talent brought to it by the ensemble but it's not even close to the landslide victory that it should have been.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
The Ides of March, George Clooney's despairing political drama set against the backdrop of a bruising Ohio Democratic primary, presents us with a most unsentimental education.
