What happens

Our Brand Is Crisis is a 2015 American comedy-drama film directed by David Gordon Green, written by Peter Straughan, and produced by George Clooney and Grant Heslov. It is based on the 2005 documentary film of the same name by Rachel Boynton. The film gives a fictionalized account of the involvement of American political campaign strategists Greenberg Carville Shrum (GCS) in the 2002 Bolivian presidential election. The film stars Sandra Bullock, Scoot McNairy, Billy Bob Thornton, Anthony Mackie, Ann Dowd and Joaquim de Almeida. Principal photography began on September 29, 2014, in New Orleans, Louisiana. The film was screened in the Special Presentations section of the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival. It was theatrically released by Warner Bros. Pictures on October 30, 2015. It received mixed reviews, despite Bullock's performance being largely praised, and was a box office disappointment. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
