Hyde Park on the Hudson' is a forgettable historical footnote.

It's never a bad movie, but it can't quite gel into a good one either.

rotten:
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.

fresh:
Somewhat uneven and ultimately underwhelming, but there's plenty to admire and enjoy here nonetheless.

rotten:
[It] may have the look of a prestige picture, but it plays more like a version of FDR's life as told by TMZ, focusing on naughty details and ignoring the historical implications of the events depicted.
