Nicole Herrington New York Times Fifty years later, this is one of many additions to the Kennedy catalog. Although it's more suited for the small screen, it is a worthy entry nonetheless. Nov 21, 2013 Full Review Annlee Ellingson Los Angeles Times The film, narrated by velvet-voiced Morgan Freeman, weaves a suspenseful narrative from eyewitnesses ... Nov 21, 2013 Full Review Alan Scherstuhl Village Voice Rather than doling out scandal and conspiracies, Taylor focuses on the one thing so often unmentioned in discussions of our first modern celebrity president: actual policy.

Audience Member A bit dry at times, but I found some nice revelations regarding his relations with the Soviets, and Cuba. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member An excellent documentary that examines aspects too often overlooked in JFK's white house, his daring foreign policy. The film shows that not only was Kennedy able to learn from his mistakes, but was looking to transform our relationship to the rest of the world, only to enrage the military industrial complex. That he sought to disengage from Vietnam is undeniable. Now, this film presents evidence of not only his eagerness for a dialogue with the Soviet Union, but also Castro's Cuba. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
