I have to confess. I tried so very hard. To be moved by this movie.
Alas, I cannot.
The narrative was short and choppy. If you are not well versed in American politics and the lineup of presidents? Forget it - you would be left wondering what-the-heck just happened as scenes moved on almost like newsreel without in-depth commentaries. And if you don't recognised the caricatures of presidential portrayals, you would be lost at sea at who's who amongst these weird guys or talking heads.
So many cameos, only one stood out. It gave me a flickering impulse to applause but before i could put my hands together, she was gone. Yes her appearance was that short. Jane Fonda as Nancy Reagan. Truly stellar, in a class of her own.
The rest of the performance were forgettable. Most were underwhelmed, running to stereotypical. The hype over Mz O? Well, it left me feeling lukewarmed, if not cold.
As for Mr Whitaker? I was very very very disappointed.
