Cinephile No. 617 "Miss Sloane"

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

Democrats and Republicans agree on something; lobbyists run Washington, D.C. Of course, they disagree about whose lobbyists are actually leading to the ruination of America. With all the talk of this profession, we, as the American public, know very little about how they work. Beyond, "Thank You for Smoking," Hollywood has done very little to pull back the curtain. "Miss Sloane" pulls back the curtain in "House of Cards" fashion to show us the ugly underbelly of our nation's capital. As we begin to see "how the sausage gets made," we realize lobbyists have the profound power to press interests good and bad. Of course, these terms are relative to the side of the aisle you most often find yourself standing. In the end, this might be the ultimate lesson of this film. 

Be good to each other, 

-Nathan

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
