Frost/Nixon Reviews

How did this not win an Oscar? Frost/Nixon is one of the best films of the 2000s for so many reasons. All around perfection from acting, story, writing, direction, and atmosphere. Howard directs easily one of his best film ever and should be seen by any film fan.

Sorry but this guy was not a very good Nixon. With all the reviews of how great he was, you would think that no one had ever seen Nixon and didn't know a thing about him. And the movie was a complete misrepresentation of the real interview. It's amazing that some have said this movie was a good history lesson. The real lesson is that Hollywood is creating history. Watch the interview and then tell me if you feel manipulated.

Frank Langella doesn't pretend to be Richard Nixon, in fact, he is the real Nixon. I have far learned the complexity of political adversaries. From Ron Howard, this is his best work yet. So as Apollo 13.

Brilliant performances take an interesting history lesson and turn it into downright fascinating cinema.

A beautifully eloquent tale about the interview between David Frost and Richard Nixon. The performances are good especially form Langella, who makes us fill bad for Nixon.

You can taste the tension between Sheen and Langella.

This is a substantial, articulate battle of wits, deserving of multiple Oscar nominations.

The film is okay; the acting is stellar.

"Frost/Nixon" is one of the best films of 2000's. Political dramas are almost never that entertaining, either having a bit too much truth (which can ruin the film entirely) or performances that are good, but mostly are there to attempt to win an Oscar. Thankfully, "Frost/Nixon" is in the same category as "Argo"-- it's whip smart, absorbing, yet it can still appeal to audiences of all sorts. Ron Howard has outdone himself here-- this is in no doubt, his best film.
Taking place just as the Watergate Scandal erupted and Richard Nixon (Frank Langella) resigned from office, "Frost/Nixon" sees the world around the controversial man rather than the world itself. When we're not peeking into the life of the President, we're instead watching David Frost (Michael Sheen), a talk-show host attempting to give a serious interview while trying to save his career. The two personalities, so different, perfectly blend together, and each span of time focusing on one or the other are well spent. What Howard does though, that's so mesmerizing, is that he delivers movie-worthy drama while still maintaining to leave the audience at the edge of their seat, and when the fateful final interview is taking place, we feel just as anxious as the world did on the same day in real-life.
The film never mimics the truth, it rather uses it as a guide. The story itself is highly interesting, and Howard manages to grab the audience's attention as Sheen and Langella manage to give flawless performances that capture everything we know about Frost and Nixon. Their never imitate like a character in a "Saturday Night Live" sketch, but they interpret the two figures with utter perfection.
But "Frost/Nixon" begs the question-- was Nixon really a horrible guy like we all believed, or was his loneliness the source of his biggest mistakes? The film may play out like a tug-of-war, but by the end you can't help but sympathize with him. "Frost/Nixon" ultimately reflects well (not shockingly) on Frost, who looks like an unsung hero. The screenplay, which does a terrific job of separating fact from drama, is very well-written, to the point in which everything feels like real-life.
"Frost/Nixon" is truly a great film. It's never slow, boring, or dumb ... it's fast-paced, entertaining, and suspenseful. Highly recommended.

Con exageraciones o desaciertos, el análisis sobre el manejo de la imagen de un político es muy bueno. Las actuaciones son aún mejores.

Fantastic and riveting. I can't remember the last time a 2 hour film kept me engrossed for the entire length. Brilliant!

Frost vs Nixon nos presenta la entrevista que realizó el británico David Frotst (excelentemente interpretado por Michael Sheen), al ex presidente de EEUU Richard Nixon (mejor interpretado aun por Frank Langelia), la primera que daba luego del famoso escándalo Watergate, al cual debemos el famoso gate en todo escándalo nacional. A lo largo de la película, Frost deberá luchar contra los prejuicios de un entrevistador extranjero, y la terquedad de un entrevistado con el don de la palabra que elude una y otra vez las preguntas que lo incriminan. Recomendable. Excelente música de Hans Zimmer.

An interesting and far more grounded film about Nixon than most previous efforts, giving us strong dialogue and performances from all parties involved.

The story of the post Watergate Nixon interview where moderately talk show host David Frost disgraced the former president. A compelling wordy political drama which looks nicely at how television shape shifted public opinion. Howard shows great skill in not falling into cliché while the screenplay remains gripping throughout by presenting the meeting between the two men as an intricate bout. Langella's performance as Richard Nixon is ace and avoids caricature.

Well acted, but incredibly dry and difficult to remain captivating. Good nonetheless.

A triumphant masterpiece! Solid writing and acted to near perfection!

Ron Howard è un mestierante che ci sa fare e qui descrive con rigore l'intervista-evento che il sottovalutato presentatore britannico Frost fece a Nixon nel 1977, Forse un po' troppa maniera (attori compresi) ma tutto è raccontato con grande chiarezza.

First and formost is that Langella does a very well job potraying Nixon, Michael Sheen is cool as frost ... heh... it's never boring its intresting to see this interview in a diffent perspective. The story slf with help from the actors makes the movie watchable and intringing to how the counry was at the time and how the politics worked. Just like JFK-movie this is a cross saying movie about a historical presidents final words and the truth behind it.

Frost/Nixon is a taut, entertaining dramatisation with strong performances from Frank Langella & Michael sheen.
