Review of Primary (1960) by Andy M — 26 Jul 2012
Undeniably important, but frustratingly boring. The film seems to attempt to make Humphrey a sympathetic character, but he's too unlikable to support. Kennedy, on the other hand, is presented as the rock-star and super-power. Even though the race was close in Wisconsin in 1960, we know how it worked out, so that's yet another reason it's difficult to appreciate.
As an added critique, the print I watched had a strikingly pretentious RD logo imposed in the bottom corner throughout the film. Get over yourself, Drew.
