After giving you an overview of the reviews for “Drive” and today we give you the first reviews of “The Ides of March“. It currently has a 81% rating as Rotten Tomatoes. We recently added more production stills of the movie as well in our gallery.

Still, despite Clooney’s multi-tasking presence, Gosling takes the on-screen honours. There is a stillness and certainty about his acting, a commanding ability to convey complex emotions in the flicker of an eye. No surprise, then, that he is currently Hollywood’s most sought after young lead. Grade: 4/5 » Full review

Seeing Gosling play a character that’s almost the polar opposite to the one he plays in Nicolas Refn’s “Drive”-he actually talks in this one-proves that all the earlier accolades given to Gosling were warranted.
