This movie is especially enjoyable if you've ever taken the time to explore several Historic and Real D.C. insiders from the era. Take a look at a few names. Mary Pinchot Meyer. James Angleton. Cord Meyer. Kathryn Graham (perhaps a mere coincidence that the two main characters are Catherine and Graham). Ben Bradlee. When you explore all these real-life characters and compare to the screenplay a clearer picture develops regarding the muddled plot lines described in other reviews. The young boy only serves as a vehicle to expose the "facts" in an eye-witness fashion. The movie works better when viewed as an interpretation of facts on record. Artistic license many times, but a few undeniable facts find their way into the story as well. Enjoy this movie. It makes you think.
