[Murray delivers] a loose but effective reading of Roosevelt which concentrates on FDR's charisma but also reveals a wily, hard-nosed streak.
Sight and Sound
[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.

The Atlantic
3.5 stars out of 4 -- Murray, who has a wider range than we sometimes realize, finds the human core of this FDR and presents it tenderly.
Chicago Sun-Times
Bill Murray as Franklin Delano Roosevelt is well worth paying attention to. His FDR beautifully conveys the notion of the chief executive as seductive star performer...
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 2/5 --
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.

Rating: 2/4 --
If there is such a thing as Oscar porn, then Hyde Park on Hudson is as obscene as they come.

The Dispatch (Lexington, NC)
Rating: 2/5 --
The movie insists on an unearned sentimentality and nostalgia about a situation and a period that is never fully evoked or explored.

Product Description:
Producer/director Roger Michell teams with screenwriter Richard Nelson to adapt Nelson's BBC radio play chronicling the extramarital affair between President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Bill Murray) and his distant cousin, Daisy (Laura Linney), which comes to light during a royal visit from the King and Queen of England (Samuel West and Olivia Colman) at his home in Hyde Park. As war engulfs Europe and the king seeks the support of the American government, President Roosevelt struggles to balance his domestic affairs with his international obligations as Commander in Chief.
