Vice (2018)

Christian Bale unrecognisably transforms into Dick Cheney, and is ably supported by Steve Carell, Amy Adams and Sam Rockwell to tell us about the most powerful Vice President in the history of the USA. Directed by Adam McKay, the film is edited in a way where the audience has to keep pace with it, with a novel mid-movie jest and many moments which question not only the politics but the methods employed to succeed by presidents past (and in that light the present as well). A brilliant docu-drama with many perspectives and insights which tell us how carefully we have to pick and support our leaders.
