George L Mar 27, 2019 Powerful, true movie. Loved it!

Harry R Feb 12, 2019 Frost/Nixon is in my opinion a really good film. Really good acting especially Frank Langella as Richard Nixon. In my opinion he played Nixon greatly and made me personally believe that he could be the real Nixon. Very good cinematography with some really good shots. Very good set design with some very good scenery. Very good makeup that puts them in that era and makes them look like there real life characters. good music by Hans Zimmer. Very emotional at points especially toward the end. Some good comedy more toward the beginning. The film also has a very good style that fits into the 70s era. Really good and gripping story. Really good editing especially with the interviews. Great dialogue that is spoken very clear and really well done. The film also has great atmosphere especially the interviews. Over all I give it a 8/10 - worth paying for two tickets See more

Albus R Feb 5, 2019 Great film adaptation of the play by the same name - wonderful to see Frank Langella and Michael Sheen's performance preserved and available to a wider audience than Broadway theatergoers. See more

Albus S Jan 16, 2019 Frost/Nixon is a perfect snapshot of a moment in history where every word counts and lives are changed with each word. I would highly suggest you watch the David Frost original interview and know some small things about Nixon to get the full joy of this film though it is not required. Frost is a television persona who wants to make the big splash as a interviewer and pays big money to have an exclusive with x-president Nixon. Thinking Frost is an easy interview Nixon takes him on. Frost has everything to loose and Nixon has everything to gain. While American media does not take Frost seriously the British television host must now prove that he can be a foil to a x-president looking to avoid guilt. Thanks to the performances the film is engaging, and fast paced. Frank Langella is great as Nixon and for some moments you almost feel sorry for him even though you don't want to. Michael Sheen is perfectly cast as Frost. You question at many points in the film if Sheen is a worthy opposite to Langella and in the end he comes out triumphantly. Watch this film. If you love it and are interested in the depth and complications of Richard Nixon see Oliver Stone's Nixon next. See more

Albus G Sep 1, 2018 more than "news" to ears.. Frost/Nixon Frost/Nixon is a character driven political drama about an interview that changes the life of a president whose controversies led him to leave the political career. As much as brilliant Howard's cast is, not all of them delivers or even justifies the script with their performance. The urge of his, to cast that resonates a lot to the actual personas is both pro and con since it barrs the feature on performance level and on the other hand, the environment created in here feels real and that's saying a lot. As mentioned, the crisp is alive and pulsating on screen that cuts deeper than ever among the characters and the palpable tone offered to them. Howard's structure as always follows a textbook equation, but it is done with such panache in here that it may remind you of "A Beautiful Mind". The writing is smarter, adaptive and gripping with layered dialogues and fine polishing of the script that keeps it short and to the point. It may be short on technical aspects like background score and art designing but has a fine cinematography. It is shot nicely with decent camera work that brings out the best from each frame. Langella has never been better in his portrayal and so is Sheen with an impressive work and support by Bacon, Rockwell, Platt and Hall. Morgan's screenplay is layered and is justified aptly by Howard's execution skills that communicates unflinchingly with the viewers. The detailed research done by the makers, the three part interview and Langella's performance at the heart of it are the high points of the feature. Frost/Nixon is an essentially well crafted act as much as it is politically, and since it speaks volume through character's perspective, it is more than "news" to ears. See more
