Better than I expected

I saw this when another film wasn't showing (wrong times on the internet), and was surprised that it was rather good. I like the idea of telling the stories of those people intimately connected to the event, but who have been so far outside the popular narrative. Not great, but worth the two hours.

hrmph, yeah, it wasn't too bad. I think it was able to capture the raw emotions of shock, confusion and anger immediately after the assassination. It reminded me of those same feelings after 9/11 .

I enjoyed it also, i thought it showed a real emotional side to the events. In particular i found the scenes with Jackie Kennedy powerful and Zapruder who was haunted by what he saw.
