I thought this movie was mainly about the assassination of U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy so I was really frustrated an hour into the movie because nothing made any sense. Everything somewhat comes together in the end so I was glad that I did not completely waste my time. Still, there is nothing much here except for nondescript dialogues about racism, committing into a relationship despite the absence of love, frustration of a certain celebrity... I could go on and on and it would still sound boring. This movie is a little too long for its own good. The people I saw this with grew restless as soon as it had started; I could withstand a lot but it just doesn't have enough to offer. It's a lame attempt to feature the people who were shot during the assassination. Even though each featured victim got a reasonable amount of screen time, I feel like I did not fully understand their motivations and actions. I feel like there's a huge gap in the center of it all where the heart should have been.
