Updated: February 14, 2012 8:02AM

‘The Ides of March’ ★★★

(2011, Sony; R, 100 min.) A press secretary (Ryan Gosling) is required to more or less lie as an occupation. He works for a Democratic presidential candidate (George Clooney) and his campaign manager (Philip Seymour Hoffman), but his real cause is his own career. With Paul Giamatti as a rival campaign manager, Evan Rachel Wood as a young intern and Marisa Tomei as a political reporter. The cynicism of its view of politics is not as surprising as director Clooney perhaps believes, but the character portrayals are compelling. (Roger Ebert)
