IHRE BEWERTUNG

Sandra Bullock and Billy Bob Thornton in Die Wahlkämpferin (2015)

A Bolivian presidential candidate failing badly in the polls enlists the firepower of an elite American management team, led by the deeply damaged but still brilliant strategist "Calamity" Jane Bodine. In self-imposed retirement following a scandal that earned her nickname and rocked her to her core, Jane is coaxed back into the game for the chance to beat her professional nemesis, the loathsome Pat Candy, now coaching the opposition. But as Candy zeroes in on every vulnerability -- both on and off the campaign trail -- Jane is plunged into a personal crisis as intense as the one her team exploits nationally to boost their numbers.

Wissenswertes
During the first 2 minutes of the film - during Jane's interview - a b&w still photo of Sandra Bullock from her film Das Netz (1995) is briefly shown to depict Jane in the early days of her career.

Patzer
When the characters speak in Spanish, most of them have Mexican accents (including and most obviously Eduardo Camacho.) No real Bolivian accents are heard in the movie.

Zitate
Jane: That's the world, that's politics. That's how it works. It starts out with big promises and ends up with jackshit happening. But like the man said: "If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal."

Our Brand Is Crisis is a pretty good political satire

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.
