So wait... This movie has nothing to do with Clinton and Kennedy?


I heard the title and thought it was political or something...



Don't say "IMO", we know it's your opinion; you're the one who posted it.

Nothing to do with Hilary Clinton or Jackie Kennedy

It's the true story of Hilary and Jacqueline Du Pre, sisters and talented musicians. It's a beautiful film, I recommend you see it even if you were hoping for something political

RIP Audrey Hepburn, I hope you are entertaining everyone up in heaven

Um, no.

I don't shut up, I grow up, and when I look at you, I throw up, Aghhhh!!

You're not alone. I too thought it was about them, political but also something where the writer pretended they knew each other when they were kids. Then I found it in the romance category of Netflix, so I was confused. LOL

rachel griffiths does look rather jackie o at times though funnily enough.

I don't mean to be unkind, but remembering when this film came out... there was a lot of press for what was not a big budget, mainstream film. Most people of adult age in the 1990s with ANY cultural exposure at ALL likely had heard of Jacqueline du Pre'... Also there was a connection between JFK and President Clinton, but what (other than that they were both First Lady)connection was ever distinguished between Hillary Clinton and Jacqueline Kennedy? Not to mention the former First Lady's name is spelled with a double "L", while Jacqueline du Pre's sister Hilary is spelled with a single "L"... just a note to anyone who cares about spelling. As I said, not to be unkind... this just seems a silly question.
