Review - Hyde Park On Hudson

Image taken from imdb.com

As you can see in the picture this movie is about a well known President of USA - Franklin D Roosevelt (FDR). Starred by Bill Murray and Laura Linney, this movie is a slow drama. I never really like a slow drama, but somehow I manage watching this movie to the end.
FDR is a president who lives in his mother house, so this movie is filled with lots of women. It tells about all of the women around FDR , based on FDR diary found under his bed as it told in the end of the story.
Laura Linney acted as Daisy, a sweet country girl whom never know man before and she is one of FDR long cousins, and she has replaced the other cousins which somehow doesn't quite fit in the house in Hudson.

When Daisy was called to the house in Hudson she was thrilled and as the years go by Daisy and FDR had a grown relationships. FDR had a wife, which is eleanor and she lives in different house, but they seems to manage a good relationship.
The great essence that filled this movie is when the royal family of England came to visit FDR in Hudson, and somehow a problem come up and they have to choose to carry on or stand still in their ground. This movie will tell you that everything you see could be an illusion. A good boy is not always a good boy, and you have to see beyond what you see or you will be destroyed in your expectation.
You will see that people will always have options in their lives, and after taking the options you have to live with the consequences.
For a slow drama, I give this movie 3/5 stars!
