Emilio Estevez’s fictionalized account of Bobby (2006) Kennedy’s assassination was superb. I wondered throughout the movie whether all the various stories would be tied together in the end, and by the last quarter of the movie, I decided it didn’t matter if they were or were not. RFK was played almost entirely by actual media coverage of him, which worked better than you thought it would (especially considering it was in the hands of Emilio Estevez, who knew?).
