Frost/Nixon may have played one way upon its initial release in 2008 but it certainly plays differently in a post-January 6 world.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 7, 2024

Howard’s Frost/Nixon contains more thrills than any other film in his career.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 5, 2024

Peter Morgan adapts his own play, and together he and director Ron Howard open it up so that the end result feels much more vibrant than merely a constricted stage piece plunked down in front of a camera.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 24, 2021

Already an award-winning play, Frost/ Nixon made a seamless transition to celluloid.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jun 14, 2021

Plays out like a tense cat-and-mouse thriller - which is quite a feat for what is essentially a series of interviews.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 28, 2020

Sheen... gradually conveys the grit that lies beneath Frost's jet-set charm, the unexpected steeliness behind the catchphrases and mannerisms.

| Nov 14, 2020

As these two men slowly but surely change the face of both television and politics, so Frost/Nixon develops into a beautifully crafted, expertly handled drama of the highest order.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Oct 31, 2019

A smart, crackling political drama marked by excellent performances and a finely tuned screenplay.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 7, 2019

Mr. Langella wisely decided not to impersonate the iconic president exactly, but he has captured Mr. Nixon perfectly nonetheless.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 12, 2018

Without a supremely nuanced performance from Langella, it would be easy for the Nixon Howard and Morgan offer to fall once again into vaudeville villainy.

| Oct 10, 2018

This is a splendid film that's genuinely fascinating and gripping, and you don't get many of those for the pound these days.

One of the most powerful films of the year... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 19, 2018

The film's success ultimately depends on the byplay between Sheen and Langella, and they're more than up to the task. Langella, in fact, may have just delivered a performance for the ages -- and how often do those come along?

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 6, 2018

In its glib and reductionist way, it works like a charm. Or better yet, like television. Which, finally, is a compliment.

| Oct 28, 2014

The movie is essentially a chamber piece pivoting on two beautifully nuanced performances.

| Oct 28, 2014

It's a credit to the actor that by the end, Langella is living, it seems, in Nixon's skin.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 28, 2014

The magnificently-flawed former US president Richard Milhous Nixon, as embodied by Frank Langella, is a magnetic presence in Ron Howard's adaptation of Peter Morgan's stageplay.

Full Review | Oct 28, 2014

Howard has successfully made an okay, watchable movie, kept from greatness only by his undying artistic blandness.

| Oct 28, 2014

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.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Oct 28, 2014

Frost/Nixon is smart and involving, a thoroughly grown-up and carefully made drama about the real-life, on-air showdown between a lightweight 온라인카지노추천 personality and a disgraced ex-president.
