Where to Watch Game Change
- Todd DaleJune 5, 2026A spot-on movie from the people who ran the McCain/Palin campaign. Stellar Acting: Julianne Moore captures the complex mix of ambition, charisma, and overwhelming pressure Palin faced, and the unprepared, uneducated, and absurd person she was/is for vice president. Paired with Ed Harris’s portrayal of a principled John McCain, the performances anchor the entire film. HBO did itself proud with this one.
