Review For Hyde Park on Hudson |
A languid, tedious effort that never bothers to get to the heart of its characters, the film is a shallow reading of a significant time told mostly from the viewpoint of a lifeless character. Connie Ogle-Miami Herald
It's never a bad movie, but it can't quite gel into a good one either. Tom Long-Detroit News
Hyde Park on the Hudson' is a forgettable historical footnote. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com
The movie hinges on Murray's turn as FDR, and frankly, he comes up wanting. He looks and sounds nothing like the man, and barely makes an effort to rectify that. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Essentially, Hyde Park on Hudson is a Shakespearean revel. Rick Groen-Globe and Mail
Murray's spot-on portrayal of a man juggling myriad pressures and demands, from petty to momentous, marks one of the film's greatest strengths. Ann Hornaday-Washington Post
With such a strong cast, Hyde Park on Hudson should have offered so much more. Alex Zane-Sun Online
Despite the best efforts of its talented cast, Hyde Park on Hudson is trivial and novelettish. Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK]
The movie insists on an unearned sentimentality and nostalgia about a situation and a period that is never fully evoked or explored. Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]
The film tinkles on affably, never quite sure of its focus but civilised, gentle, prettily-mannered. Nigel Andrews-Financial Times
Hyde Park on Hudson has precious little truck with reality, either historical or emotional: it's a thin tale shot with a kind of manic cosiness that belies its slightly creepy plot. Robbie Collin-Daily Telegraph
There's much of historical interest here, and it's very well acted, if a little slow. Henry Fitzherbert-Daily Express
Watchable drama, heightened by a quartet of terrific performances from Murray, Williams, West and Colman, though the plot is ultimately rather slight and never really sparks to life. Matthew Turner-ViewLondon
Hyde Park is of fleeting interesting to a degree, but always feels like it is missing more exciting historical opportunities at the same time. Graham Young-Birmingham Post
A frustrating, wasted opportunity, destined to remain in the shadow of its cinematic sibling. Sophie Ivan-Little White Lies
It's a lightweight, three-star way to kill a couple of hours if you're at a loose end on that lazy bank holiday Sunday. Rob Daniel-Sky Movies
Somewhat uneven and ultimately underwhelming, but there's plenty to admire and enjoy here nonetheless. Tom Huddleston-Time Out
The whole endeavour feels like a hastily cobbled together attempt to cash in on the post-Oscars glory of The King's Speech. In the end, it's entirely forgettable. Simon Reynolds-Digital Spy
Bill Murray isn't bad as the polio-afflicted 32nd commander in chief. The trouble is that the rest of the film goes adrift in its choices. Siobhan Synnot-Scotsman
Disappointing given the talent and situation, dull as ditchwater and historically suspect ... Angie Errigo-Empire Magazine
Ultimately, it's just a pleasant little movie where the dramatic highlight is whether or not King George VI will bring himself to eat a hot dog. Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Bill Murray proves a sound choice as the president who quietly battled polio. So too does Samuel West, as the stammering King George VI. Ed Gibbs-The National
Whether it bears any resemblance to what actually happened is almost academic in a film that takes a precious moment in time and transforms it into a witty, civilised country house drama. Allan Hunter-The List
Like the equally ludicrous Hitchcock, Hyde Park on Hudson is a character assassination posing as a movie. Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing
Bill Murray is rarely more than serviceable as FDR in a film that is built around a romance more icky than sweet. Mike Scott-Times-Picayune
The movie is most alive when Bill Murray's Roosevelt and Samuel West's King George VI retreat from the crowd and talk man to man. John Wirt-Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA)
