Was good to start, but not the end

Rating: 7/10 (2 June 2017)

It seemed to roll well on a historic inside angle, but the ending dropped it a point. History wanted to martyr Kennedy, but as time rolls on, we will see his presidency starkly in terms of only 2 years and 10 months. The assassination only served to give the media an excuse to deify, and cast him in a King Arthur role, and this movie still tries to do the same. Natalie Portman gave a surprisingly good performance, but the ending did a disservice to her portrayal by pandering to a propaganda myth. Is it worth the watch? Yes, if only for seeing Portman pull off the seeming impossible in her portrayal. But unless you like to be preached to, ignore the ending or turn off the video.
