Reviews


91
Christian Science Monitor - Peter Rainer
It's a sideways view of a national trauma. The large cast includes standout performances from such unlikelies as Demi Moore, playing an alcoholic crooner, and Estevez himself, as her long-suffering husband. Everyone in this film is powerful.
75
Premiere - Scott Warren
Alll in all, however, Estevez has pulled together the best political drama, fiction or otherwise, in recent memory.
70
Variety - Deborah Young
Emilio Estevez's Bobby is a passionate outcry for peace and justice in America that becomes deeply involving by the final climactic scene.
60
The Hollywood Reporter - Ray Bennett
Whether or not Bobby Kennedy was the man his supporters believed him to be, the film makes a persuasive case that something important in America was silenced when he was gunned down.
60
The New York Times - A.O. Scott
When you hear his (Robert Kennedy's) patient, meditative speeches, from which every note of demagoguery or pandering has been purged, you glimpse the film Mr. Estevez set out to make -- the one you may wish you were watching.
