LBJ - BLU-RAY

Woody Harrelson delivers a remarkable effort as 36th President Lyndon Baines Johnson in Rob Reiner's effective biopic, which offers focus on the often crude but always shrewd Senate Majority Leader's eventual accession to charismatic rival Sen. John Kennedy (Jeffrey Donovan) for the 1960 Democratic nomination, and his turbulent first year in office as he determinedly pushed through his martyred predecessor's civil rights agenda. With Bill Pullman, Richard Jenkins, Michael Stahl-David, and Jennifer Jason Leigh as Lady Bird. 98 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack; English.
