Movie Reviews of Frost/Nixon
Movie Review: The Infamous Nixion Interview That Shocked The World.
Summary: 5 Stars
Politically intriguing as the film and its actors really have captured the mood of the 70's after the Watergate incident. The film pretty much portrays very closely (if not exactly) to the original Frost/Nixon tapes although in the film, it does not go into vivid detail on every topic that was originally discussed in the real interview but that is hardly a flaw for a great film. The casts of the film did brilliantly portraying figures of the past, most notably Frank Langella as Nixon and Michael Sheen as Frost. Despite the lack of action sequences, this film surprisingly managed to have kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the whole screening as the suspense between Nixon and the outside world was somewhat very sad. Overall, I've enjoyed this film and would recommend it to those who share the same political fascination with Nixon and/or Watergate such as I.Movie Review: Le triomphe de l'audace journalistique
Summary: 5 Stars
Tout d'abord au stricte plan documentaire, ce film fut une révélation pour moi. Nixon avait une personnalité "surprenante". Cet homme possédait un charme certain. Mais quel individu retors!
Et que dire de Frost: un journaliste que d'aucuns qualifieraient de superficiel--de showbiz star. Mais voyez tous les risques financiers qu'il prend et les risques de brūler son futur à jamais. Et quel homme merveilleux, l'idéaliste qui aimerait entendre Nixon dire: "je regrette, j'ai fait une erreur, le Watergate, j'en suis le responsable au premier chef".
Quant au plan artistique... c'est du grand cinéma: le réalisateur recrée une atmosphère telle que vous voyez ces deux protagonistes, Nixon et Frost, plus vrai que nature.
Je n'en dis pas plus!
Bon film!

Movie Review: One of Howard's very best.
Summary: 5 Stars
I went to see this movie based on the reviews and the people involved (star and director) but after watching it I realize the subject matter is the least relevant thing about it. Simply put, this is a terrific character study that just happens to be about a former president and a celebrity interviewer, very much unlike, say, THE CURIOUS CASE OF BEJAMIN BUTTON which is all about its subject matter and a screenplay that's about nothing. I would have never imagined a portion of David Frost's life would make a worthwhile movie but the sections of this movie dedicated solely to him are just as interesting as Nixon's even though Michael Sheen sounds just like Austin Powers. In conclusion, this is a must see film even if neither Frost not Nixon sound like a couple of people you'd care to spend a couple of hours watching.
Movie Review: Solid Performance on All Parts
Summary: 5 Stars
Frost Nixon was an excellent film about the story behind the David Frost interview of Richard Nixon that took place a couple years after his resignation from office. Frank Langella (Nixon) and Michael Sheen (Frost) give masterful performances that capture the viewer from the opening scene. I did not know what happened in this true story depiction before I started watching and was extremely pleased by such an exceptional film that told what happened.
The movie is rated R but the only reason is probably the two "F" words in it. Otherwise I think this is a film that anyone in the family could watch that enjoys learning about history. The movie is not biased politically more than what the reporters and political staffers would have been at the time. This really was a great film and it is highly recommended
Movie Review: Great film
Summary: 5 Stars
"Frost/Nixon" is a very well done film directed by Ron Howard that explores the post-Watergate interviews of Richard Nixon (Frank Langella) conducted by British television host David Frost (Michael Sheen). The film chronicles Frost's desperate attempts to land and finance the interviews, as well as his poor preparation for the first three sessions, which are completely monopolized by Nixon. Frost finally gets his act together by the time it's time to discuss Watergate, and the interview ends up being one of the most successful pieces in all of television history.
I really enjoyed the film. Excellent performances by Sheen and Langella are supported by a wonderful cast that includes liver Platt, Sam Rockwell, and Kevin Bacon. I definitely recommend this film to any political junkie.
