Ethel 2012


Ethel

     Ethel Kennedy was the wife of Robert Kennedy.  She raised their eleven children after his death.  Rory Kennedy, the filmmaker and the youngest daughter, interviewed seven of her brothers and sisters for this film.  She was born after the death of her father.  Many photographs and family footage add to the film.  Ethel was involved in all aspects of her husband’s life and in the lives of her children.  Their main goal for the family was to give back to society.  They were fortunate in their lives except for the deaths and it was a responsibility to help others.
     This is good and quite interesting.  I knew there were a lot of children but I didn’t know Ethel had eleven.  She has over 30 grandchildren at the time of filming.  3 ½* (I liked this movie)  

97 min, Doc directed by Rory Kennedy with Ethel, Rory, Kathleen, Courtney, Joseph Kennedy, Ralph Bunche.

Note:  Imdb 7.8 out of 10, 88% critic 81% audience on Rotten Tomatoes, Film Crave 2.50/4.
