It's noticeable how many reviews this film has had scrubbed from IMDB’s comment section—a significant number existed initially, but now only a handful remain, seemingly limited to those who share a specific political perspective. The truth is, it was quite bad. The actors didn't resemble the Kennedys, their performances weren’t convincing, and it appears that most of the Kennedy recordings and information about what was referred to as the "Irish Mafia" were omitted. O'Donnel, O'Brien, and Powers are given very little screen time, suggesting the film primarily drew on the opinions of individuals like Schlesinger and Sorenson, excluding other voices. It seems to feature those who worked within the administration but lacked trust or influence, later attempting to portray themselves as important figures when they were actually minor players. Essentially, this is a portrayal of the Kennedys filtered through the perspective of people in the Kennedy administration who felt excluded from key decisions and subsequently tried to exaggerate their involvement just because no one realized they weren't truly part of what was happening. What’s particularly disappointing is that it was produced in 2011, after the Kennedy tapes had already been released; yet, instead of utilizing those primary sources, it depended on the accounts of individuals who were kept at a distance while decisions were being made.
