Review of Chappaquiddick (2018) by Dawdlingpoet — 26 Nov 2021
This is quite a frustrating watch, due to the plot development, or in other words, what happened - given its based on (I believe) a true story. It's a (perhaps timely?) reminder of how authority figures incl politicians (not all but some) can have dubious priorities and be somewhat self-centred, it could be said.
The central performances are decent and it felt a pretty good film in general - with some stylish lighting/elements present. It's pretty watchable but not memorable, in as much as it isn't the kind of story I'd care to think about too much, frankly.
As political biopics go (plus moral/ethical related films I suppose), its a good watch and so from that perspective it's worth seeing, hence I'd recommend it.
