The settings are powerfully like real. A Senate hearing room, the Senate itself, a party home in immediate Washington and varying apartments plus a place in DC suburbia all have the look of genuineness.

RTTime OutFeb 9, 2006

Grips like a vice thanks to the skill with which Preminger's stunning mise en scène absorbs documentary detail.

There are many other dull and naughty characters in this brisk whirl on the Washington merry-go-round.

RTGone With The TwinsSep 25, 2025

A scathing indictment of politics through and through; it’s one of the most cynical movies ever made.
