Review of All the Way

All the Way (2016 TV Movie)
8/10
Really good stuff
12 November 2022
Almost perfect rendition of the Johnson presidency from his swearing in to '64 election. My only moderate criticism is that for those of us who lived through LBJ Bryan Cranston, makeup notwithstanding, cannot approach the papa bear physical presence of the former president. The script seems very balanced, we get to see the positives and negatives of each of the major players. Being only ten at the time, some of this went over my head when it happened, I'm assuming it gets accurately retold here but I don't think anyone was seriously concerned about Goldwater beating the Big Guy. The Pres is presented sort of as a tragic figure, doing his duty maybe better than JFK could have done, and not getting much credit when it was all over. Highly recommended.
