Review of Nixon (1995) by James H — 28 Apr 2005
MAGNIFICENT FILMMAKING, IT'S MAJOR FLAW IS IT'S EXTREME LENGTH, WHICH IS TYPICAL OF DIRECTOR OLIVER STONE TO THINK TOO MUCH OF HIS OWN WORK TO HAVE IT EDITED TO AN APPROPRIATE LENGTH. IT COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN SHORTENED WITHOUT CHANGING THE EFFECT OF THE MOVIE.
THE CAST IS MAGNIFICENT, EVERY ONE OF THEM. JOAN ALLEN STANDS OUT. GREAT ROLE FOR MADELINE KAHN AS WELL. OF COURSE THERE IS THE INCREDIBLE ANTHONY HOPKINS. THERE IS GENIUS IN THIS FILM, TOO BAD OLIVER STONEDOESN'T KNOW WHEN TO STOP.
