Review of Frost/Nixon (2008) by Roopak V — 11 Mar 2010
I was initially put off Frost/Nixon as it is directed by Ron Howard, a man I have not consider to be a good director until now.
The film is a surprising gem. I cannot claim to know a great amount about the material it deals with but I admired the fact that the film does not appear to take the easy way out and vilify Richard Nixon, instead it present an engaging and somewhat objective version of the Frost/Nixon interviews and the difficulty Frost faced to arrange these interviews.
The two central performances are brilliantly acted, and the ensemble cast surrounding this are amazing, particularly Sam Rockwell and Oliver Platt.
This story is as relevant today as it was when it happened, the abuse of power by the president and their arrogance whilst in power.
