From first-time director Peter Landesman comes your one-and-only look at Parkland. While once thought it be a serious player in the field, it received some lackluster reviews out of the Venice Film Festival as well as TIFF. I saw it myself last week and can say that that negativity is not ungrounded.

With a cast that includes Zac Efron, Paul Giamatti, Jackie Weaver, Marcia Gay Harden, James Badge Dale, Colin Hanks, Mark Duplass, Ron Livingstone, Billy Bob Thornton, and Jeremy Strong, Parklandtells the story of JFK’s assassination through the perspective of six interweaving stories. As is often common with movies of such an ensemble nature, the narrative focus is all over the place. I’ll say no more though and let you watch it for yourself and see if this spurs any interest for you.
