CGiii Comment

Estevez does it all...but, does he pull it off?

He certainly does - impressive to say the least.

There are a multitude of characters, subplots galore and he manages to keep them controlled and, more importantly, interesting.

Carry on directing - this deserves a much wider audience.

The(ir) Blurb...

Tuesday, June 4, 1968: the California presidential primary. As day breaks Robert F. Kennedy arrives at the Ambassador Hotel; he'll campaign, then speak to supporters at midnight. To capture the texture of the late 1960s, we see vignettes at the hotel: a couple marries so he can avoid Vietnam, kitchen staff discuss race and baseball, a man cheats on his wife, another is fired for racism, a retired hotel doorman plays chess in the lobby with an old friend, a campaign strategist's wife needs a pair of black shoes, two campaign staff trip on LSD, a lounge singer is on the downhill slide. Through it all, we see and hear RFK calling for a better society and a better nation.
