Chappaquiddick (2018)

Jason Clarke plays Ted Kennedy in the days after he drove off a bridge on Chappaquiddick Island in 1969, leaving Mary Jo Kopechne dead in the car and taking hours to report it. The film is best as a study of a political machine moving into damage control around a man who seems unsure whether he wants rescuing. Much of it hews close to the record, but treat its key scenes as one interpretation: it shows Kopechne alive and trapped, which nobody can know, and its scene with a furious Joe Kennedy Sr contradicts his nurse's account.
