I had a hard time focusing during this classic documentary. Edith and Eddie, Jackie Kennedy's eccentric relatives, are strange, funny, and their relationship is touching and bittersweet. But this type of film is just not my style. The meandering conversations and free-form of it all can be tedious at times.
