Description

Academy Award® nominees Bill Murray and Laura Linney star in this delightful look at one of the most pivotal meetings in history. As Great Britain faces an imminent war with Germany, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt (Murray) and his wife, Eleanor (Olivia Williams), invite the King and Queen of England for a weekend at their home in upstate New York. But during the first-ever visit of a reigning British monarch to America, international affairs must be juggled with the complexities of FDR’s domestic establishment, as wife, mother, and mistresses all conspire to make the royal trip an unforgettable one. Hyde Park of Hudson is a charming and fresh look at true events and the mysteries of love and friendship, from the acclaimed director of Notting Hill.

  • Dull, inaccurate and distasteful! Must avoid!

    Very poor imagination with inaccurate details in terms of historic background and British Royal traditions - as if the playwright made up the whole story with absolutely wrong details and very wild and distasteful imagination. By hiring some second or even third tier British actors and actress to fill up the gap of the "Britishness" is definitely a bad idea - the only thing real about British was probably the accents those British actors and actresses had. However, their accents were not the Royal accent back in the days at all. It only shows how cheap and how unauthentic the attempt to interpret the part of the film was made. Apart from the inaccuracy and distastefulness, the other aspects of the film were boring as hell too. Absolutely ghastly! Must avoid!

    Excellent little story, well portrayed, Bill Murray showing a greater depth of talent than I think many may have not realised he possessed. Well worth renting.
