official visit to the United States. With the clouds of war on the horizon, it is in everyone’s interests to fortify relations between the soon-to-be allied nations. The film playfully depicts the recurring spasms of culture shock (hot dogs on the barbecue proving an especial source of horror for the royals) that helped distract prying eyes away from the blossoming love between Daisy (Laura Linney) and FDR (Bill Murray). Meaningful silences, the proud display of a stamp collection, a tryst in a car — stolen moments accumulate as affinity becomes affection becomes an affair, while the chaos brewing on the European continent seems far, far away.
