Uncritical, infatuated with Reagan's charisma rather than searching for the chinks in his armour, the film's lively score keeping things balefully light.

This wry documentary focuses on the original entertainer-turned-president and his box of showbiz tricks.
October 6, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… -
The aim of directors Sierra Pettengill and Pacho Velez, anthologising their media moments, is elusive, unless it's to expose the actor-president as a skilful showman.

The Reagan Show pretty much gives away its entire thesis in its title, but it's fun to trawl through these archive images and it allows us to ponder whether we'll ever really be able to claw through the protective layers of spin.

It reminds us what a limited and one-dimensional politician he was - but also what a consummate performer whenever the cameras were in sight.

Entertaining if slightly pointless ...

Audience Reviews for The Reagan Show

Jul 06, 2017The reliance on archival footage here (as opposed to talking heads) proves the most effective in criticizing Reagan's administration as shallow while still demonstrating the reasons for his popularity. Hearing him say "Make America Great Again" in the 80s is positively bone chilling.Alec B Super Reviewer
