Drama, History
For three years after being forced from office, Nixon remained silent. But in summer 1977, the steely, cunning former commander-in-chief agreed to sit for one all-inclusive interview to confront the questions of his time in office and the Watergate scandal that ended his presidency. Nixon surprised everyone in selecting Frost as his televised confessor, intending to easily outfox the breezy British showman and secure a place in the hearts and minds of Americans. Likewise, Frost's team harboured doubts about their boss's ability to hold his own. But as the cameras rolled, a charged battle of wits resulted.

That was way more engaging than I was expecting, especially considering the subject matter and coming from Howard. Knock out performances from the two leads. Playing the interview out like a boxing match was brilliant.

Brilliantly acted movie about the true story of this very special Interview with Richard Nixon after his disgrace.

I may be overrating this movie for the same reason as The Queen–it’s a great historical story and one I didn’t know about ahead of time. A documentary probably would have been just as good.

This is decent, it checks all the boxes you want out of your typical awards contender. It’s way too predictable for its own good though, the set-ups in the first act are so on the nose that you know beat for beat how this is going to play out. Also, while the movie is competent visually and sonically, it’s also a bit by the numbers. There’s not really an interesting artistic touch at any point, the presentation isn’t super memorable besides those occasional interview inserts. I also wish it would’ve gone a little more in depth about the Watergate scandal, it’s very much kept on the side with one of the key developments in the story being skimmed through as a montage. Still, the main two characters are very interesting, and the acting and story are too well done to neglect. 6/10

I guess I'm giving it a 10 out of 10 for the acting, for the lighting, and for the attempt.

In other words this is a movie that you want to watch, a movie that will probably be enjoyed (unless you find movies like this boring, and, if you do, you've already made up your mind not to watch it).

I watched this film without knowing almost anything about the actual events that are depicted in this film. What a surprise it was! The cast did an amazing job to reflect the actual characters in history while the director did a stellar job in representing it.

Would I watch it again? I don't thin More
