About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like dialogue-driven historical politics and moral debates, similar to The Post or Frost/Nixon; Not for you if you want fast action, simple plotting, or a short runtime.

Pros: powerful lead performance; tense political stakes; sharp, witty dialogue | Cons: slow, talky pacing; long runtime; ending feels abrupt
