Review of Hyde Park on Hudson (2012) by Daniel S — 13 Dec 2012

Wow I was surprised by how much I didnt like this, I mean I wasnt expecting it to be great, but this is a mess, awfully written and directed, the story is lame, theres no real suspense or payoff, its kinda hard to put into words, but many scenes are just off, they just fall flat, ill admit it is well shot and has good music, and the actors cant be blamed, theyre all good actors, and actually look a lot like who theyre playing, but they shouldve just focused on one story, either FDR and Daisy or the king and queen visiting, as a result both are underdeveloped, just a shame since roger michell has made some pretty good films in the past.
