Election

Vying for victory, the movie Election unfurls a darkly comedic tale of high school politics. Tracy Flick (Reese Witherspoon), an ambitious and overachieving student, is determined to win the student council elections at all costs. Jim McAllister (Matthew Broderick), a popular teacher, perceives her relentless ambition as dangerous and plots to derail her campaign. This satirical drama, directed by Alexander Payne, captures the quirks of suburban life and teenage ambition with sharp wit. A critical darling, Election earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay. It's a riveting exploration of ethics, ambition, and the lengths some will go to win.
