I've never heard so many euphemisms for "gangster," "criminal," "mobster," "blood-sucker," "enriched by ties to mafia," "mafia," "mob" in my entire life. The abjectly criminal and disgusting past of the Kennedys is glossed-over to shine a false light on this as if "oh; an immigrant family coming up in the ranks," instead of "Joe Kennedy gets rich by being a criminal." Super gross, but if viewed critically it's eye opening. Shame they decided not to do an ACTUAL documentary.

Masterfully Air Brushed "Documentary"
tomtpcarpe3 April 2021
If this is the only piece you'll ever see covering the Kennedy family, you'll be woefully ignorant of the history of "America's Royal Family." I realize this is supposed to be an account of three Irish men who advised JFK and RFK, but in presenting the story the film maker glorified the family and glossed over all their warts and misdeeds. In short, this film has about as much substance as "ein Berliner."
