Toronto 2017: 'Chappaquiddick' Review


It's stressful having to make sure you spell Chappaquiddick right in the midst of a festival when you're running around and not getting a ton of sleep. Anyway, Chappaquiddick features a very good performance from Jason Clarke as Ted Kennedy, who's about to be tested after that fatal 1969 car crash. A drama about the crash's aftermath, Chappaquiddick is a despairing look at a senator who did not acquit himself particularly well. My review is up at Screen International.
