Murray is quite terrific here, though his actual physical resemblance to FDR is modest at best.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 11, 2020

Hyde Park on Hudson is a piece of badly-constructed fluff. The film is neither very comic nor does it have much value as an account of historical events.

| Aug 13, 2020

May not be the fault of a visibly restrained Murray in the lead role, as the script gives him nothing to work with.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 27, 2020

Hyde Park On The Hudson looks back on one weekend in history with the warmth and poignancy of an old family album; dusting off the pictures one more time, giving us a new and human look at one man who helped changed history.

| Nov 27, 2019

[It] fall[s] flat on its feet due to a lack of plot structure and quality dialogue.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Nov 26, 2019

As adorable as Bill Murray may be, the ride feels low-rent, and the experience doesn't measure up to seeing Michelle Williams embody Marilyn Monroe.

| Aug 6, 2019

If there is such a thing as Oscar porn, then Hyde Park on Hudson is as obscene as they come.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 8, 2019

Presenting two parallel narratives about the importance of love and fraternity, Hyde Park on Hudson does a remarkable job of taking neither narrative strands particularly seriously.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 9, 2019

Hyde Park on Hudson is delightful as a character study of historical personages negotiating an outwardly superficial situation that has potentially world-shaping consequences. As a fact-based romance, it simply fizzles out.

| Original Score: B | Jan 30, 2019

It seems there is no end of things to cringe at in this mess of a movie.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 18, 2018

Jeremy Sams' mildly piquant score and the mannered characterizations would suggest, making this piece of awards bait more shameless than most.

| Dec 17, 2018

Murray's screen presence is normally always welcome, however this time he is a victim, (as are the rest of the cast) of weak characterisation that never really delivers.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 23, 2018

As a snapshot, or a character study, or just an interesting historical anecdote, "Hyde Park on Hudson" worked beautifully on some levels, while failing on plenty of others.

| Aug 22, 2018

The entire film is quite funny, in fact, nothing like the sort of stuffy period piece it's dressed up as.

| Jun 21, 2016

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).

| Original Score: 3 of 5 | Jun 10, 2016

This pleasant drama offers little further insight but will help pass a Sunday afternoon nicely.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 7, 2016

The casting of Bill Murray as Franklin Delano Roosevelt is just one of many quirks that makes [the film] the enjoyable diversion that it is.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 12, 2016

It was not well reviewed but I was won over by the film's gentle tone and Murray's easy-going benevolence and paternal affection as FDR.

| Feb 12, 2016

A tedious affair about a tedious affair.

| May 12, 2015

The performances across the board are strong, but it's Murray who's most impressive.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Aug 17, 2014
