Review of Hyde Park on Hudson (2012) by Sol C — 08 Dec 2013

Billy Murray and Laura Linney shine here. They should have gotten Oscar nominations for the film. They have a great on screen chemistry. Murray is great as F.D.R. The film felt like a stage play. It also felt like it was a part of the movie The King's Speech. It reminded me too much of the movie, My Week With Marilyn. In fact, it copied the exact same style of that film. That was a big mistake in my opinion.

The performance are great here. I kind of wish Colin Firth and Helena Bonham Carter would have returned as Bertie and The Queen. Olivia Williams was very good.

I recommend it for Murray's and Linney's performances.
