Movie review - "Game Changer" (2012) ****

Excellent account of the 2008 election, focusing on the Republican campaign, in particular the rise and fall and rise-ish of Sarah Palin. Julieanne Moore is very good in what is a great role; Ed Harris is also fine - actually everyone is good, including Woody Harrelson, Ron Livingston and Sarah Paulson as Republican backroomers. The piece has great dramatic structure - the Republicans forced to take a punt, making one... and almost getting away with it. It makes you wish they'd do more films like that in Australia.
