Review of Warm Springs (2005) by Shaun B — 05 Nov 2012
"Warm Springs" is a delightful little gem of a melodrama from HBO Films, functionally directed by Joseph Sargent, but finely acted by a sharp cast lead by Kenneth Branagh as U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Among the supporting ensemble are the always enjoyable Kathy Bates, David Paymer, Tim Blake Nelson, Jane Alexander, and the most aptly casted Cynthia Nixon as Eleanor Roosevelt. With a screenplay sometimes verging on sap and an often cheesy score by composer Bruce Broughton, it's easy to see how it might turn off some, but for those who don't mind a Hollywood drama done right, "Warm Springs" is a real treasure.
