Excellent review. I appreciate the attention Sr. Rose gave to the nuances of the film. What no one has ever dared to speculate on was how much Nancy's hovering was really to cover up Reagan's declining mental capacities. Like doffing the debate prep book as too overwhelming -- it would have also revealed that he could remember a script far better than facts.  A film on James Brady! now that would be a gift! Truly, a hero who went on to save countless lives by bearing witness in his own body to the need for legislation to stop the NRA's powerful lobby.
