Primary Colors, Nichols' second feature with screenwriter and former stand-up comedy partner Elaine May, is mainstream filmmaking at its most accomplished.

The performances are splendid, beginning with Travolta's magnificent turn as the big-hearted but hardballing man with 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. on his horizon.

Primary Colors perfectly captures the spirit of its topic and time to become The Big Chill of politics.
January 9, 2018 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review… -
As satire, it's toothless and indulgent; as drama of conscience, it's not a patch on real life...

Nov 10, 2012This movie did not age well. There's a scene early in the democratic primary race where everyone in a packed diner is glued to the small television set, watching and commenting on an interview - "Today Show" style - of our candidate and his wife. Either our political culture was very different back in 1992, or this is an example of the movie's unrealistic, self-absorbed sensationalism. Without any clear sense of direction, we watch the plot stumble into one manufactured problem after another. Instead of insight into modern politics, we get guns, drugs, heart attacks, old men sleeping with 17 year olds, and gay sex - all in one race to become the democratic nominee.Matthew S Super Reviewer

Feb 24, 2012Can be seen as the colourful version of The Ides of March. Probably too much of a take on a comedic image of Bill Clinton to be taken too seriously but entertaining..provided that you don't give it a great deal of thought.John B Super Reviewer

Feb 19, 2010The film almost lost me in its final moments. What starts as a indictment of the political process ends on what to me is a falsely hopeful note. However the other 3/4 of the film is pretty amazing and is full of great comedic performances that never loose the right touch of realism.Alec B Super Reviewer

Jan 04, 2010A well done, if though occasionally flawed, political comedy/drama that features two golden performances from John Travolta and Kathy Bates. While it does get over-dramatic at some parts and some of the characters could've been fleshed out a tad better, for the most part this is a well executed take on politics and how the people involved in them are never what they seem to be. I wish they had left the ending open-ended and daring the viewer to make their own choice as to what they would do in the situation posed in the film's conclusion, but I understand Nichols instead going with the more accepting finale.Dan S Super Reviewer
