Election
“Reading. Writing. Revenge.”
ComedyDrama
Tracy Flick is running unopposed for this year’s high school student election. But Jim McAllister has a different plan. Partly to establish a more democratic election, and partly to satisfy some deep personal anger toward Tracy, Jim talks football player Paul Metzler to run for president as well.

This film feels like a sharply observed, darkly comedic dissection of ambition and the absurdities of human nature. It's a cynical, uncomfortable, yet hilariously precise look at power dynamics, leaving you both amused and slightly unsettled by its incisive satire and relentless characters.
