What the critics say

Chappaquiddick is a smart, damning take on an American tragedy
3073d ago
Whether or not events actually unfolded this way, the story the film tells is an interesting and complicated character study, with something to say about the corrosive effects of power and privilege on both the innocent and the guilty.

Jason Clarke impresses as the last Kennedy brother, whose reputation never recovered following the death of a young supporter in murky circumstances
3073d ago
A meticulous docudrama rivetingly recounts the tragic car accident and its aftermath — an event of criminal negligence and cover-up — that defined the life of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.

The Kennedys won’t be watching this one on movie night.

Chappaquiddick retells a Kennedy scandal in the style of a David Fincher procedural
3073d ago
The result is a film that can make a point without turning it into a sermon.
3073d ago
Recreation of a historical accident and its aftermath turns a political legacy into a complex moral free-fall

Look no further than Olivia Thirlby’s character’s reaction to Mary Jo’s death to know why Ted never saw a cell.
3073d ago
In a way, the film is a portrait of grief (Bobby Kennedy had been assassinated just a year prior), but it’s not without instances of dark humor: When a staffer says Teddy “looks like a putz” for parading around in the neck brace he intends to wear to Mary Jo’s funeral, it’s funny because there’s something comical about the absurdity of his cluelessness.

As it stands, “Chappaquiddick” is a reminder that while Camelot had its fair share of tragedy, none of the Kennedys were angels — but we already knew that, right?
3073d ago
“Chappaquiddick” can be summed up by one of the first sentences uttered by Edward “Ted” Kennedy (Aussie actor Jason Clarke) after escaping from a sunken car that he drove off a bridge into shallow water on July 18, 1969: “I’m not going to be president.”
3073d ago
This look back at the tragic death of Mary Jo Kopechne unflinchingly examines political privilege and media manipulation
3073d ago
A retelling of Teddy Kennedy’s infamous car crash declines to take sides.

Chappaquiddick Makes You Want to Know What Ted Kennedy Was Really Thinking
3073d ago
Chappaquiddick misses that target. But it’s a fairly intriguing mixture of strengths and weaknesses, a case of a sharp cast and a careful director toning up a script best described as “a good try.”
3073d ago
John Curran's drama focuses on the 1969 incident when Senator Ted Kennedy (Jason Clarke) drove off a bridge, causing the death of campaign worker Mary Jo Kopechne (Kate Mara).
