This is one of those titles that was HEAVILY censored in the review section in IMDB... recently. When it first came out over a decade ago there were thousands, but then in 2020, the thousands dropped to 45 and only a few remain... ... the few that have the right political views. The fact is it stank, it really did. They didn't look like the Kennedy's, they didn't act like them, and for all intents and purposes it seems like they ejected most of the Kennedy tapes and most of the "Irish Mafia." O'Donnel, O'Brien, and Powers are so minimized that it clearly took only the insights of people like Schlesinger and Sorenson and no one else. The people that were in the administration but not trusted, not influential, and only later did their best to push their narrative of individual power when, in fact, they were second rate players at best. It's the Kennedy's from the view point of the people in the Kennedy administration that were resentful to be left outside when the doors closed, and then went on to boast about being a part of the action just because no one knew they were left outside in the lobby. But the real tragedy is that it was made in 2011, the Kennedy tapes were made public by then, and instead it relied on the views of people left outside to wait until the decisions were made.

The Kennedys rally to put Jack in the White House, but their difficult past illuminates a deeper struggle. “People talk about the curse that seems to echo down the generations of the Kennedys and in a certain sense it’s true,” says Tom Wilkinson. “And if you are going to see it in the kind of Greek tragedy sense, there isn’t a better sort of patriarchal figure than Joe Kennedy because his world view was extreme. His world view was: ambition, money and family. It’s almost medieval in its simplicity … but almost everything else went by the boards.” -Tom Wilkinson

The Presidential election comes down to the wire; Bobby tells Joe Sr. he’s leaving politics. “John F. Kennedy was a very complicated person who meant a lot of things to a lot of different people. I have my own interpretation of who he was and what his legacy was. Kennedy served as President of the United States during an extraordinary period of time and brought us exceptional social and political changes in a short time, in 1000 days. He gave this country a sense of purpose and enthusiasm which was much needed at that time.” - Greg Kinnear

The Cuban missile crisis brings America and Russia to the brink of war; Jackie leaves JFK after one infidelity too many. “The lasting legacy of Jack and Bobby Kennedy was to resolve political crisis with the least amount of bloodshed possible…We never went to war with the Soviet Union. Had that crisis not been handled the way it was, we wouldn’t be here. This planet would be dead. Everything else pales to insignificance compared to that.” - Writer Stephen Kronish

Bobby blames himself for his brother’s death. Five years later, tragedy strikes again. “I admire Robert Kennedy because of his courage to stand up during an extremely volatile and difficult time in America, knowing full well what might happen to him. RFK lived and died as a passionate advocate of peace, justice and equality and he believed in compassion toward fellow human beings, not only in the United States, but all over the world. I believe he would have made an extraordinary President. Now, more than ever, the world is in need of men like Robert Kennedy.” - Barry Pepper
