    FROST/NIXON = ENTHRALLINGLY ABSORBING. GRADE: SOLID A

    by MOVIES REVIEWER

    I just saw the advance press preview of this 122-minute movie based on the stage play that was based on events leading up to including the David Frost exclusive 70s interview with disgraced ex-President Richard Nixon.

    I found the movie to be STUNNINGLY illuminating, thought-provoking, revealing, humanizing, and exceedingly EXCELLENTLY well-made by director/producer Ron Howard.
    The STELLAR cast led by Frank Langella and Michael Sheen shone with great talent. AWESOME acting!!!

    Initially, I thought it was going to be a boring drama or documentary - but I was mistaken in my (mis)assumption - because this movie riveted me - glued me to my seat in anticipation as the story unfolded - well-paced and well-scripted - at times suspenseful and at times comically funny/tragic.

    I am SO GLAD to have seen this movie - and I urge everyone to give it a chance as it is one of the best movies of this year.

    VERDICT:
    HIGHLY-RECOMMENDED.
    A Must-See movie.

    Great Movie--Almost as great as the Play

    by DrewFromNY

    Movie was great--top 5 of 2008. I was fortunate enough to see the play on Broadway and THAT was also amazing. A reliable friend said the movie was better than the play--I saw it with my wife and we loved the movie, but thought it was just below the very high standard set by the play. That said, it is a must-see: Great acting by the two leads, compelling story and excellently directed. Go see it!

    Must See

    The movie was very well done. It showed Nixon in a very human light, and there are definitely parallels to the current president. My favorite line was "When the president does it, it is not illegal." I have already recommended it to several friends.
