Our take

In this unusual look at one special weekend in the life of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the atypically cast Bill Murray captures the President with a melancholic charm. While WWII is on the horizon, the spirited biopic also has lavish picnics, a visit from the King of England, and even romantic intrigues.
