The Candidate (2018)
6/10
Difficult to follow for non-Spanish speakers
16 January 2023
Interesting script focusing on political corruption and how party members, the media, the justice system and the public could handle it.

For non-Spanish speakers the dialogue is too quick to follow. My partner and I barely had time to recognize names and faces but instead tried to fully concentrate and keep up with the subtitles.

The acting and direction seemed pretty good. But we couldn't tell if we got lost in the dialogue or translation throughout the film. Too many names and storylines to keep up with.

Is it worth seeing again to fill in the gaps? No. Frankly it felt like a chore trying to keep up with the story.
