      Audience Member Incredible performances are the most convincing of any portrayal of the Roosevelts. A slow and quiet movie with a potent dose of class. Alexander and Herrmann simply ARE Eleanor and Franklin. One of the best TV movies ever. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A masterpiece. A remarkable portrait. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member So lightly dramatized it sometimes seems to have no structure at all, this film offers an intimate look at the relationship between Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. Casting is perfect. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
