Review of Frost/Nixon (2008) by Bartl. — 10 Dec 2008
There are moments when Frank Langella's portrayal of Nixon is shocking... one is almost convinced it is Richard Nixon on the screen. Ron Howard adds his usual hokey melodramatic moments which made me squirm.
If only he would learn to leave out the corn. Much of the cinematography is BS film school gimmckry, why do they insist that contrived shaky hand-held shots add anything to the film? They just make the audience nauseous.
A film well worth seeing though for Langella's Oscar-worthy permformance of a life-time, in spite of the cornball direction and camera gimmickry.
