Query: Excellent political movie with outstanding cast

I got sucked into the excellent story very quickly due to the wonderful cast. Ryan Gosling is magnetic in his role as a super ambitious campaign guy who is still new to politics. He balances perfectly the brilliance and overconfidence of his character. Philip Seymour Hoffman is perfect as the been-there-done-that overconfident veteran of campaign politics. George Clooney, Marisa Tomei, Evan-Woods are all terrific, too, but Ryan Gosling and Philip Seymour Hoffman made this movie more than your "usual politic drama". The story explores the human characteristics of politicians - we all should know they have those human characteristics & flaws, but we seem to want to delude ourselves into thinking "this one will be different"...Great movie, great actors!
