Movie review

From Short Review - NY

Since a certain presidential hopeful has earned copious Kennedy comparisons, now is the perfect time to get an eyeful of the real deal. Vérité legend Robert Drew (Primary) creates a compelling visual record of our 35th commander in chief, from intimate moments captured during his bid for the Democratic nomination to footage of his tenure in the White House. History buffs, this is essential viewing.

[This film is an official selection of the TONY Film department for the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival. While it has not been given a star rating, our Film experts consider it to be among the superior entries to this event.]
