With a box office flop and little lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among anyone who loves backroom deals and speeches and anyone who likes knowing it really happened, this one's for you. Power and ambition drive every scene. Liked All the Way? This is a good next one. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 10 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1931: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
The founding father has an extramarital affair and meets with the likes of Thomas Jefferson.
