The picture’s narrowed scope is a plus, giving Harrelson room to shine. He’s somewhat hampered by doughy prosthetics–why not just let a good actor sink into a character, minus the distracting makeup?–but Harrelson gets the posture, the crabby, loping drawl and the overall get-it-done energy of LBJ just right. Johnson could be coarse and ill-mannered, but his political acumen and innate decency changed the country for the better. His crassness was also a kind of grace, a contradiction that Harrelson conveys beautifully, with a scowl that sometimes hides a smile–or the other way around.
This appears in the November 20, 2017 issue of TIME.
