The Kennedy Incident

8 reviews
8/10

Bittersweet fairy tale

Saw this at the world premiere (online) and I was pleasantly surprised. It seemed a bit slow and too sweet at first, but you need to watch it to the end to understand why this was necessary, as it takes on much darker notes in contrast as the story evolves. I really liked the actors and the overall visual style. It's a fairy tale for grown ups, even though it doesn't necessarily have a happy ending.

Unbearably romantic

This one is mostly a chick-flick, perfect as a Christmas or Valentine's Day tear-jerker. I was hoping to get more action, spies and bullets, but its above all a portrait of two young women, a prostitute and a spy, and Kennedy is a passing character in their lives, affecting them both. Beautiful girls and lush settings.

A Trip Down Memory Lane

The setting & scenery all added to the nostalgia of the the time period, along with the music. A slow starter but the story soon unfolds. Well acted by the three main characters. I thoroughly enjoyed it

Rising politician and fallen women change history

I was in the mood for that kind of film, that's why I'm giving it such high score. It's sizzling and sexy. There's comedy and drama and it's very down to earth, even though I think most of it is fiction. I liked the more serious parts, such as the old brothel madame sharing her words of wisdom to the young girl who's head over heels in love. Love hurts.

Films like this are a rare find.

A truly remarkable screenplay, capturing yet elegant In so many ways. Enjoyable throughout with an excellent performance from Walton Jones. will be shortlisting future films.

Visually beautiful, good storyline too

What I love about this film is the visual recreation of late 1930s atmosphere. Everything from the costumes and hats to cars and interiors is so very authentic and helps to carry the narrative. Makes one want to hop on the plane and check out what Tallinn really looks like.

Love, disappointment, rejection

I watched this as I saw another film by the same director at a festival and was interested to see what else he has done.

The Kennedy Incident is quite a beutiful love story, transcending time and space. It takes place before the WWII in Eastern Europe (or is it Northern Europe?), but it could take place today in the US or wherever. It's a 'girl finds boy, girl loses boy' kind of film, which doesn't necessarily have a happy ending - but not an unhappy one, either. I would call it 'a realist ending' - people try to make peace with themselves and their memories.

It's not a film ABOUT Kennedy, it's more a film WITH Kennedy in it. If you're hoping for a biopic, you might be disappointed. Also, it's in different languages, so again, if you only can tolerate films in English, this might be a tough watch.
