Hyde Park on Hudson

In June 1939, ahead of World War II, Franklin Delano Roosevelt hosts the King and Queen of Great Britain at his upstate New York estate, Hyde Park. The visit is meant to rally support for America's potential involvement in the war. However, the gathering is complicated by FDR's personal life, including his relationship with his distant cousin Margaret "Daisy" Suckley.

Hyde Park on Hudson received a mixed reception from critics, who praised its performances, particularly Bill Murray's portrayal of FDR, and its intimate look at a historical moment. However, many found the film's narrative somewhat meandering and felt it didn't fully capitalize on its dramatic and comedic potential. Audiences were similarly divided.

• Praised for Bill Murray's performance as FDR and its charming depiction of a historical event.

• The film offers an interesting, albeit understated, look at presidential life and relationships.

Google audience: Google users found the film to be a pleasant diversion with good performances, particularly from Bill Murray. However, many felt the story was too slight and lacked a strong dramatic arc, resulting in a generally lukewarm reception.
