Raising Buchanan

2019 · 105 min

A wry, low-key caper that coasts on absurdity and deadpan charm rather than big laughs.

Tagline: Aimless woman. Reckless plan. Worthless president.
Overview: A desperate woman steals the corpse of former US president James Buchanan, hoping to net a large ransom. Complications arise when it seems no one is particularly interested in getting him back.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, cynical and light. Measured and easy to follow.
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
