Hyde Park on Hudson

Gorgeous cinematography and scenery highlight this fascinating, low-key, well-acted, factually based film that focuses on the adulterous relationship between polio-stricken, charismatic President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Bill Murray) with his unassuming fifth cousin Margaret "Daisy" Stuckley (Laura Linney) and the visit of stuttering-prone King George VI (Samuel West) and Queen Elizabeth (Olivia Coleman) to FDR's idyllic upstate New York estate in 1939 where he vacationed with his loyal wife (Olivia Williams) and controlling mother (Elizabeth Wilson).
