Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

denis888 Ron Howard made no easy feat - to portray a seminal Forst / Nixon's 1977 Interviews wasa real ordeal. To depict such a deep, difficult, traduced, much maligned and very multi-faceted man as Richard Nixon was, is never a very sweet job. Oliver Stone did a huge task with his awesome 1995 movie, with powerful Sir Anthomy Hopkins as a main part. Here, Howard used the obvious talents of such giants as Frank Langella as Richard Nixon, Michael Sheen as David Frost, Kevin Bacon as Jack Brennan, Oliver Platt as Bob Zelnick, Sam Rockwell as James Reston Jr., Matthew Macfadyen as John Birt., Rebecca Hall as Caroline Cushing, Patty McCormack as Pat Nixon and Toby Jones as Swifty Lazar, among many. They certanly showed very high class and shone like real Luminaries. But yet, a very itchy question remains - was it all done right? Well, the biggest problem is the general tonality of the movie - it is way too syrupy and way too mecriless towards great late President, the film tries too hard to persuade us what an evil lonely monster Nixon was, and how great to see him smashed and grounded. Oliver Stone did a far more weighed potrrayal of a tormented soul, with all his ups and downs. The second biggest problem is shockingly Frank Langella - he is too old, too slwo, too bulky for avid, acidic, agile Nixon. The funniest fact is that Langella could have been better playing the very Leonid Brezhnev that his hero mentions so much. To sum it up - Fred Schwarz, writing for the conservative National Review online, said that, "Frost/Nixon is an attempt to use history, assisted by plenty of dramatic license, to retrospectively turn a loss into a win. By all accounts, Frost/Nixon does a fine job of dramatizing the negotiations and preparation that led up to the interviews. And it's hard to imagine Frank Langella, who plays a Brezhnev-looking Nixon, giving a bad performance. Still, the movie's fundamental premise is just plain wrong."

Stu-24 As close to an American masterpiece as it gets: honest, touching and politically charged, this film humanizes a point of contention that still matters to this day. Frank Langella gives a performance I did not know he was capable of: not mere impression, but a complete engagement in his character, an understanding at a core level of a man who is subject to as much caricature as any politician since Ceasar. Bravo.

Inception Report I love interview movies, movies that centre around an important interview and all the trails that come with it so as you can imagine Frost/Nixon immediately appealed to me and was definitely worth the watch. I thought this film was fantastic with two excellent lead performances. Frank Langella gives the performance of his life in this film he's truly amazing at portraying a fragile and fearful man trying to regain some humanity that he lost to his presidency. Michael Sheen was also really good in this movies you could tell just how badly he wanted this interview and how desperate he was to get it done right. The actual interviews themselves were very well executed, the tactics that went into both their sides leaves you riveted and intrigued and makes Nixon eventual apology feel earned and all the more satisfying, I wasn't alive to watch the actual interviews but I can imagine they felt the same way they do in the movie. Ron Howard did such a good job at directing this movie he makes sure that your always engaged and riveted by what your seeing and turned what could have been a boring and melodramatic drama into something much better than that. The chemistry between Nixon and Frost is great the tension between them and some of their more personal scenes made the film all the better. However I do have a few flaws for one I didn't like the documentary style flash forwards with the characters it just felt weird and out of place and ultimately just unnecessary. The film also does suffer from it taking some time to find it's footing but eventually does. I really like Rebecca Hall and she was really good in this movie but I didn't really get her character I don't know if her character was a part of the real life events but even if that's the case I still didn't think she fit her relationship with Frost just comes out of nowhere and is mostly skipped over. Overall Frost/Nixon is a fantastic film with a great main conflict and performances and is by far one of Ron Howard's greatest achievements. 85%/A-

thamburaan A perfect gathering of unbeatable artists who can make a role forever remembered. This film really makes a true bid to the actual events which happened. Even though its a full reel of conversations and emotional drama, I enjoyed this through out. Always Ron Howrad has been amazing in creating films which has huge acting output. Like A beautiful mind, Da vinci code etc. Like those this is one of his finest product. The major attraction of this movie taken away by Frank Langella & Micheal Sheen, I really admire Frank Langella's acting in this, its so emotional and real. As the character goes by the exact emotional reflections can be taken out from his face. Kevin Bacon, Oliver Platt and every other cast did their part very well, in the matter of acting the movie goes up in the air for the dedication8 out of 10
