Plot summary

After graduation, Bram gets his dream job at a local newspaper. In his mind he’s the next Woodward (but he’s probably more of a Bernstein). A year in, he realizes that maybe the paper business is no longer what he’d seen in the movies. Instead of investigative journalism, he is writing easily consumable Top 10 Lists - Best Hot Dogs in the City! Ten Ways to Tell You Grew Up in the 90s! After the paper is hit with another round of layoffs, Bram stumbles upon a potentially explosive story involving the city’s controversial mayor. But he needs to beat the mayor’s smooth talking aide, Kamal, to the punch. This could be Bram’s big break — if he had any idea how to be a real journalist.

Stick with it

I will admit the first third of this movie was confusing. It felt like going to a work meeting at a place where you didn't work. However, once I started, I figured I would stick it out until the end, and I'm glad I did. I imagine the low rating is largely due to the slow start and the fact the subject matter is rather dual. The film follows Bram (Ben Platt), an aspiring reporter who has uncovered some dirt on the mayor of Toronto. At the same time, the film also shows the perspective of the mayor's assistant and his girlfriend, who also works for the mayor. As the film progresses, it becomes apparent that the mayor is not a good guy in more ways than one. The first part of the film was all over the place and hard to follow. Some editing would've really helped the pace, but there are just a lot of scenes that could've been cut entirely. For instance, there is a scene in which Bram has problems graduating, which serves no purpose in the film. Also, they probably should've just focused on the reporter's story or the assistant as they never really overlap and often conflict. However, with that said, there were several scenes that made you think about politics and the modern world in general. It's a little depressing at times, like real life. But I found it worth watching in the end. Ben Platt does well with what he is given to work with. It won't be for everyone. It's a slow, somewhat boring political drama, but if you like that sort of thing, give it a chance and see it through until the end.

Painfully boring

It has a strong start but becomes incredibly dull fast, and the movie can't seem to decide whether Bram or Kamal is the protagonist. The only reason I saw this movie I was because Ben Platt is on it.
