Our Brand Is Crisis is a pretty good political satire
4 November 2015
Just watched this with my movie theatre-working friend. It stars Sandra Bullock as a political consultant who comes to Bolivia to help a presidential candidate win an election. It's a long road for her and her team and the candidate had been president before and is seen as out-of-touch with the current reality. It's funny in spots and is a little serious and is pretty enjoyable when being both either in separate scenes or at the same time. I'm not sure I understood everything that was going on but I did understand what it was basically about: that politics is dirty and one shouldn't expect whoever one supports to be clean, no matter what as a result. Still, it's always nice to believe in something when these things are going on. So on that note, Our Brand Is Crisis is worth a look. P.S. I didn't know some of the scenes were shot in New Orleans, which is only a couple of hours from where I currently live.
