Choose Connor

About This Movie

So, 'Choose Connor' is this interesting exploration of youth and politics through the eyes of Owen, a 15-year-old who gets swept up in a Senate campaign. The tone is quite reflective, maybe a bit cynical, as it delves into how idealism can clash with the harsher realities of the political machine. There’s a rawness to the performances, especially from the lead, who captures that mix of hope and naiveté. The pacing feels right for the material, building tension as Owen becomes more entangled in the media circus. What stands out is how it tackles themes of exploitation and authenticity in a world obsessed with image. It's not flashy, but it really makes you think about the costs of ambition.
