Chappaquiddick Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
In the end Chappaquiddick will have to pass the same test as Kennedy's original version of the story-whether or not anyone will buy it.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
Clarke makes us feel plenty of things we'd rather not. His eyes are shadowed with profound decency one minute, and hollowed out in desperate calculation the next.
Austin Chronicle
Danielle White
The filmmakers seem to be concerned about preserving her innocence, just as the real-life Kennedy was. It may be a bit idealistic, but it's not a disservice.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
If you're looking for something to make you feel good about chubby, cherubic Ted, the venerable lion of the Senate, this is not your movie.
Observer
Rex Reed
A film of integrity and disclosure, a controversial chapter in American history that substitutes clinical accuracy for Hollywood embellishment, with an impressive attention to detail and an admirable respect for suspenseful narrative.
Spectrum Culture
Kristen Lopez
Director John Curran's Chappaquiddick is a decent Cliff's Notes version of events, though it's hard not see sanitization masquerading as ambiguity.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
The sketches of Kennedy-family tensions and loyalties are thin and simplistic; the action rushes by with little insight or context.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Chappaquiddick is heavy-handed history, a film that at times seems to owe as much to The X-Files as the many cinematic dives into the target-rich territory that is the Kennedy clan.
America Magazine
John Anderson
Jason Clarke, the Australian actor (Mudbound, Zero Dark Thirty) is a fleshy, entitled and very convincing Teddy...
RogerEbert.com
Susan Wloszczyna
For those who are drawn to re-creations of historical controversies that pack more gravitas and outright tragedy, Chappaquiddick could prove satisfying enough, especially with the in-vogue-again Kennedy clan at the center.

Leonard Maltin
This is yet another first-rate film from John Curran that should capture the attention of anyone who remembers the Ted Kennedy incident (as I do) as well as young people who want a credible slice of recent American history.
Vanity Fair
Richard Lawson
Chappaquiddick isn't a harangue against Kennedy, but it does take a hard look at a man who was a revered stalwart of the Democratic party. The film works best as a character study, a profile of moral crisis, rather than any sort of true-crime expos.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Chappaquiddick reminds us that without the Kennedy name and influence, the man who drove a car off a bridge, swam to shore and left a young woman to die, and then went into hiding and defense mode, should have gone to jail for a long time.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
Devoid of revelations, the film instead focuses on the creation and delivery of the narrative that Kennedy used to survive this calamity...It allows Chappaquiddick to become an example of the very thing it portrays.
New York Post
Johnny Oleksinski
Camelot, it's not. And, as this terrific movie suggests, the American people fall for their polished BS every time.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
In the final analysis "Chappaquiddick" is the story of a weak man. Maybe someone who had deep-seated reasons for that weakness, but still a not particularly appealing individual whose actions frustrate rather than draw us in.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
But small lapses, together with the confusions and glib evasions of a production that is neither fact nor fiction, raise the larger question of what the film is, and ultimately becomes.
TheWrap
Inkoo Kang
Serves as a timely reminder that voters on either side of the aisle are susceptible to influence, especially when it's wrapped up in male entitlement and oligarchical polish.
The Atlantic
David Sims
It's a film looking to challenge America's gauzy perception of the country's most famous political family, loaded with all the bleakness that task requires.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
A political biopic's most difficult target lies in the elusive circle above character assassination and below hagiography. "Chappaquiddick" misses that target.
