Résumés(1)
22 novembre 1963, 12 h 38. C'est un patient peu ordinaire qui arrive en urgence au Parkland Memorial Hospital de Dallas. Il s'agit du président John F. Kennedy, sur qui on vient de tirer alors qu'il traversait Dealey Plaza en limousine décapotée, acclamé par la foule. Tandis que la nouvelle se répand dans le monde, une page méconnue de l'histoire s'écrit dans cet hôpital qui n'était absolument pas préparé à affronter cet événement. Autour du corps, les questions et les émotions s'accumulent. La pression monte. Proches, anonymes, officiels, tous vont être confrontés à une prise de conscience et à des décisions qui changeront leur vie à jamais... (Metropolitan FilmExport)

Well, if Zac Efron was saving Kennedy, it's clear where the mistake happened. Seriously. Fifty years on, Americans are commemorating the death of a man whose survival might have changed the world. We don't know, it didn't happen. JFK will be an eternal topic. The film has a great cast and sometimes excellent performances, but when I look at the footage that Abraham Zapruder happened to capture, which essentially shows JFK being shot, it chills me much more about how brutal people can be and what they are capable of doing. The film excels in its effort to capture events that ordinary people wouldn't normally have seen. It succeeds in that, but it's essentially just a reminder of a terrifying act.

An excellent acted documentary, which, from start to finish, gives off a very authentic impression and is designed mainly for viewers obsessed with the JFK theme. There are a lot of characters, none of them are the main character and almost everyone has their moment. A number of scenes are hellishly strong and I appreciate how the screenwriter and director managed to balance the mournful patriotic mood of the film so that (at least for me) it didn't seem cheap and I didn't feel that it was blackmailing me emotionally.
