    • Quotes

      Diana Hastings: This system, the way we elect people, it's terrifying. And exhausting. And I think it's driving us all insane.

    • Crazy credits
      There are many extra scenes after the closing credits start to roll, and those credits restart several times. When they're about to end, Trevor Potter, former FEC chairman gives a brief, funny interview to director Jon Stewart.

    At first I was thinking what kind of movie it's going to be, because Steve Carell is amazing actor in both comedy and serious movies(I hate watching trailers, I let film to surprise me by itself). After all, it was a serious movie with some sarcasm and comedy scenes which I liked. Main plot was interesting, I loved that they didn't speak a lot about Donald Trump or others politicians(as 90% films do). It surprised me in a good, ending was really unpredictable,film name had deep meaning, it's just good movie for a night. I would really recommend to watch it. Top 10 movies of 2020 for me so far.
