I'm just not as high on this as the average Letterboxd user. Reese is great though, and I'd vote for Paul.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A razor-sharp high school election spirals into a battlefield of pettiness and hypocrisy as a self-righteous teacher sabotages an overachiever out of personal spite. Watching Election is like witnessing human nature's moral compromises laid bare with merciless, laugh-out-loud precision.

Reviews
I didn't like this as much as I remembered liking it. In my memory, there was a lot more Tracy Flick and Paul, and a little less Mr. McAllister, and it was funnier.
