Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The treatment of this touchy material is impressive, neither gratuitous nor mincing, but this 1999 satirical comedy doesn't really go anywhere.

fresh:
An instant classic, Alexander Payne's 1999 high school comedy seems even more scathing now that we're losing control of our own election machinery.

fresh:
Election at first has the feel of a simple work. But don't let that fool you; it's a complex, deep tale.

– Jay Carr,
Boston Globe,
25 Aug 2007
fresh:
A dark, insidiously funny satire on the self-involved ways otherwise rational people can allow narrow personal agendas to lead them astray to the point of self-destruction.
