This is one of those titles that was HEAVILY censored in the review section in IMDB... recently. When it first came out over a decade ago there were thousands, but then in 2020, the thousands dropped to 45 and only a few remain...

... the few that have the right political views.

The fact is it stank, it really did. They didn't look like the Kennedy's, they didn't act like them, and for all intents and purposes it seems like they ejected most of the Kennedy tapes and most of the "Irish Mafia."

O'Donnel, O'Brien, and Powers are so minimized that it clearly took only the insights of people like Schlesinger and Sorenson and no one else. The people that were in the administration but not trusted, not influential, and only later did their best to push their narrative of individual power when, in fact, they were second rate players at best.

It's the Kennedy's from the view point of the people in the Kennedy administration that were resentful to be left outside when the doors closed, and then went on to boast about being a part of the action just because no one knew they were left outside in the lobby.

But the real tragedy is that it was made in 2011, the Kennedy tapes were made public by then, and instead it relied on the views of people left outside to wait until the decisions were made.
