Academy Award nominees Bill Murray and Laura Linney star in one of the most talked–about films of the season.
Take a break from Holiday shopping and come to see this lovely period piece.
After the movie we will get a bite to eat. We hope you can join us to enjoy this movie!
With Britain facing imminent war in June 1939, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt hosts the King and Queen of England for a weekend at the Roosevelt home at Hyde Park on Hudson, in upstate New York. Director Roger Michell (NOTTING HILL, VENUS) helms the historical tale that explores the all–too–human side of one of history’s iconic leaders.

With Britain's King George VI playing an important part in the proceedings as a house guest, audiences will be no doubt be encouraged to think of this classy, mildly ribald slice of biographical arcania as this season's The King's Speech, bolstered by the fact that both leaders had to deal with physical impairments. Reflecting a time when the intimate secrets of our leaders could truly be securely kept from the public, this Focus Features holiday release seems eminently promotable as a refined treat that's nonetheless palatable to a wide audience.
Although decorously staged and tidily written in the manner of many films and television shows about the historical high and mighty, this contribution to 20th century costume drama ventures waist-deep into vaguely queasy territory by exploring, however gingerly,Franklin Delano Roosevelt's multiple menage that was either hidden, or ignored, in plain sight under the roof he shared with his wife and mother.

'Hyde Park on Hudson': Trailer
On the eve of World War II, Bill Murray is Franklin Delano Roosevelt as he hosts the King and Queen of England on their first ever trip to America at his family homestead – Hyde Park on Hudson
Everything... concerning the royals -- portrayed with grace, aplomb, and resolute humanity by the wonderful Samuel West and the goddesslike Olivia Colman -- is fantastic. It's very much the sequel to The King's Speech...
