Our Brand Is Crisis

Hosted by Joe Morgenstern Oct. 30, 2015 Entertainment
Our Brand Is Crisis is meant to be a fictional version of Rachel Boynton's 2005 documentary of the same name...

Our Brand Is Crisis suffers from deficits of wit, wisdom, focus filmmaking expertise and appropriate tone. The problem is the impossibly conflicted nature of the new production, a star vehicle meant for mass-markeet consumption with elements of broad comedy plus implicit preachments about Americans meddling in foreign affairs.
