	Bobby (2006): Reviews
		Whether or not Bobby Kennedy was the man his supporters believed him to be, the film makes a persuasive case that something important in America was silenced when he was gunned down.
		Bobby can be seen clearly for what it is--an "Airport" movie with the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy as the central calamity and an all-star cast deployed like multiple George Kennedys.
		Bobby turns out to be a good movie with lofty ambitions that never really focuses on Bobby until the final scene but by then it's just too late.

	InContention.com \| No one needs film awards coverage this deep.: "Bobby" (***1/2)
		Crafted with graceful devotion and blistering sincerity, “Bobby” is not merely one of the most personal films of the year.
		This is a film with stitches that show and blemishes for which it refuses to apologize.
		The editing of the film is of the highest quality, coming under the acclimated hand of veteran Richard Chew (“One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” “Star Wars”).

		IN THEATERS NOVEMBER 17, 2006 An ambitious labor of love from writer/director/star Emilio Estevez, BOBBY attempts to distill the hope, anger, and confusion that gripped the U.S. in the late 1960s.
		Bobby doesn't get everything right but when Estevez allows his images and the reality of his characters do the talking, the film works with indelible cogency.
		Bobby, which opens Thursday, is a fictionalized account of the day Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated, and it's one of the exceptions.

	Bobby (2006)
		How fitting is it that a week after we lost the great Robert Altman, we are saddled with ‘Bobby’, a film so sorely lacking in even the most rudimentary vision needed to make this star-fucking snuff film worthwhile.
		‘Bobby’ is the worst movie of the year, an empty-headed work of heart and good intention that is a cold finger up the ass of any liberal and more ruinous to the cause than any Michael Moore documentary could ever amount to.
		As Bobby Kennedy himself is seen out of focus, so it seems is his tribute, good intentions my ass.

		Bobby is very similar to 1965's Hotel, since the film depicts characters toiling inside the Ambassador in Coconut Grove on the night Sirhan Sirhan guns down Robert Kennedy, a man likely to have become the 37th president of the United States (instead of Nixon).
		Bobby went on to work for J. Edgar Hoover, the government's best cross-dressing peeping tom.

	'Still' Fits Venice Bill as Top Film
		The film was a last-minute addition in competition, its name withheld until Sept. 5 because of sensitivities related to acquiring the proper permissions from Chinese censors.
		But the film was a hit with the jury, winning the prize over such favorites as Emilio Estevez's "Bobby," Stephen Frears' "The Queen" and "Nuovomondo" (Golden Door) from Emanuele Crialese.
		Among other prizes, Helen Mirren received a standing ovation when she was given the Volpi award for best actress for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in "Queen." The film examines the friction between the royal family and British Prime Minister Tony Blair in the wake of the 1997 death of Princess Diana.

		Acquarello of Strictly Film School, one of the single most thought-provoking and intelligent film sites on the web, contributes a review of Our Films, Their Films, a collection of critical essays and personal writings by Satyajit Ray.
		Ray is one of the more obvious examples of the "Godardian" film critic (filmmaker as critic, films as criticism), but judging from Acquarello's review I expect his critique is far more nuanced than I imagine it.

		But it does surprise me that a film as rich and complex and daring as The Fountain is so hastily dismissed by most mainstream critics, as if it's just a bunch of nonsense that's best looked upon with smirking disdain.
		I like much of what Jim Emerson said in his review of the film: yes, it's quite often silly, outlandish, maybe even naive and (god forbid) pretentious, but it reaches so far and believes so deeply that I, quite frankly, can't bloody imagine being able to dismiss it so easily or so absolutely.
		And if my (increasingly fond) memory of the film is backed up by a second viewing, I too may have to clear some space on the ol' year-end list...

	Bobby + Fast Food Nation
		A completely pointless exercise in winsome, pathetic hand-wringing, the navel-gazing Bobby is just one of this year's inevitable examples of the power of nepotism in dictating who gets to continue churning out the worst films anyone's ever seen.
		Just the idea of Bobby stinks of intense stupidity--of that taint of rich, intellectually infantile dolts dreaming up some sensitive, cardigan-wearing premise wherein a sainted icon's last day of life can be told through the eyes and mouths of "average" people.
		What Bobby and Fast Food Nation share (besides the roundelay structure, the star-filled cast, the mindless liberal ranting made instantly quaint by our most recent Congressional elections--see also: Crash) is an intensely distasteful taint of superiority.
