Frost/Nixon Reviews
Richard Roeper.com
Richard Roeper
Nixon is infinitely more complex than George W. Bush, which is probably why this one slice of his life is more intriguing than "W," which covers decades.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
Plays often lose their energy when adapted for the screen. But even on the stage, Frost/Nixon had a cinematic dynamism, and Howard has only enhanced that quality.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
All this makes for great entertainment on the big screen, though the real legacy of the Nixon interviews is more vexing than Morgan would have us understand.
Associated Press
Christy Lemire
You never feel like you're watching a play on film: The way Morgan has opened up the proceedings in his screenplay feels organic under the direction of Ron Howard, who has crafted his finest film yet, and one of the year's best.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Ultimately, Frost/Nixon may be stuck in time -- but, oh, what a time it was.
CNN.com
Tom Charity
In its glib and reductionist way, it works like a charm. Or better yet, like television. Which, finally, is a compliment.
HitFix
Dan Fienberg
Many viewers will just go along with Frost/Nixon because of how great Sheen and Langella absolutely are.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Frost/Nixon is a stylish, smart film.
Washington Post
Philip Kennicott
It isn't Shakespeare, but it is drama at a level one doesn't often get in movies.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
The inherent drama of the true story of Frost/Nixon and the performers assembled to shoot it make the film worth seeing, but it still feels like a missed opportunity.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Despite a moving, canny incarnation of the man by Frank Langella, despite a slickly entertaining coffee-table production as only Ron Howard knows how, the movie feels cooked up. In the name of dramatizing history, Frost/Nixon sacrifices it.
The New Republic
Christopher Orr
This is the irony of Frost/Nixon: Though it chronicles the moment when (in theory) the 37th president of the United States was cut down to size, the movie's presentation of him is utterly larger than life.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
An absorbing film replete with telling moments and powerful performances.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
The result is involving, engrossing cinema -- more thrilling, in fact, than Howard's The Da Vinci Code -- filmmaking of a type rarely seen anymore and sorely missed.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
Langella is not a natural Nixon; he has a voluptuary's face and a self-assurance the president only dreamed of. So he burrows into Nixon and comes out with a figure who is less a simulacrum than the definitive interpretation.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Sometimes a good movie can be transformed into something great by a powerful third act.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
When the movie sticks to its central dramatic conflict, it can be spellbinding.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Both a crackerjack entertainment and a sharp look at the roots, and limitations, of ambition, while stars Frank Langella (Nixon) and Michael Sheen (Frost) put on the year's most provocative and finely tuned display of dueling egos.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
Despite the great care and research that went into the movie, Frost/Nixon pales in comparison to Oliver Stone's Nixon when it comes to humanizing the infamous leader.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Like Doubt, this week's other stage-to-screen adaptation, director Ron Howard's Frost/Nixon pours old-fashioned theatrical juice into a cinematic bottle and lets the actors drink it up.
