Movie Reviews of Nixon [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Nixon
Summary: 2 Stars
So far I've tended not to review films I haven't enjoyed. I find it hard to be inspired enough to write when I didn't engage or feel fulfilled at the end of a film (or even a music or book) experience. Sadly Nixon is one of the few films I've really not enjoyed and have given such a low star rating to. I know the period and subject relatively well, having studied it at college and reading around American politics since, and it is here where the film redeems itself; the research seems fairly well done. Unfortunately, considering the amazing cast assembled, I found many performances very dry and lack lustre. I just didn't engage or relate to any of them enough to care about the story. The direction was pretty good, as to be expected from Oliver Stone, but the constant flicking between time periods was a touch annoying and didn't do the story justice. I feel (and this may just be a personal preference) that a straight chronological telling would have served this film better. Having read other reviews here I am aware that this film may have a lot to offer, and if you're a student of American politics then I'd say it is well worth a viewing, but sadly for me this time, it didn't hit the right buttons.
