Hyde Park on Hudson is a biographical historical comedy-drama film about Franklin D.Roosevelt and his cousin-friend Margaret 'Daisy' Suckley. Although they are long-distance for a long time, Roosevelt and Daisy form a close and romantic relationship as he often asks her to visit Hyde Park. What will she do when she discovers Roosevelt has an affair with his secretary?
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.
Murray's FDR dominates the film the way Roosevelt towered over American politics for a decade and a half. That's not always a good thing, because the central character here is supposed to be FDR's sixth cousin Daisy (Laura Linney).
[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.
