[It] may have the look of a prestige picture, but it plays more like a version of FDR's life as told by TMZ, focusing on naughty details and ignoring the historical implications of the events depicted.

Fresh
Somewhat uneven and ultimately underwhelming, but there's plenty to admire and enjoy here nonetheless.
Tom Huddleston, Time Out
Rotten
A languid, tedious effort that never bothers to get to the heart of its characters, the film is a shallow reading of a significant time told mostly from the viewpoint of a lifeless character.
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
Rotten
It's never a bad movie, but it can't quite gel into a good one either.
Tom Long, Detroit News
Rotten
Hyde Park on the Hudson' is a forgettable historical footnote.
