A loving portrait of a lady--but who probably would be just as happy not to have this or any portrait at all.
Ethel is a moving, highly enjoyable, thoroughly absorbing portrait.
While often touching, it's a lightweight addition to HBO's schedule.
You will come away from the film understanding a great deal about an extraordinary woman who played much more than just a supporting role in a significant period in our history. Perhaps more important, you will get a better sense of that historic period as well.
Though Ethel can't possibly be construed as a tell-all, much less the work of an impartial observer, it's great that someone finally got her to talk at all.
As it is, Kennedy buffs will enjoy Ethel enormously. Others likely will think it's about half an hour too long.
Ethel is tone-deaf and maddeningly incomplete.
