Our Brand Is Crisis is a 2015 American political comedy-drama film directed by David Gordon Green and starring Sandra Bullock and Billy Bob Thornton. The film is based on the 2005 documentary of the same name by Rachel Boynton.
The story follows a political strategist, Jane Bodine (played by Sandra Bullock), who is hired to help a struggling Bolivian presidential candidate win the election. She faces off against her rival, Pat Candy (played by Billy Bob Thornton), who is working for the opposing candidate.
As Jane navigates the challenges of the campaign, she must confront her own demons and question the ethics of her tactics. The film explores the power of branding and manipulation in politics, as well as the personal toll it can take on those involved.
Our Brand Is Crisis received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for Bullock's performance but criticism for its uneven tone. Despite this, the film offers a thought-provoking look at the intersection of politics and media in the modern age.
