By Mike D'angelo (730) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 06 Nov 2018

It’s a feature-length whine of frustrated entitlement. A movie less suited to its cultural moment would be hard to imagine…

Review of The Front Runner (2018)

By Fred Topel (1,193) for Monsters and Critics (513) on 06 Nov 2018

The Front Runner has its Hart in the right place (get it?) but it maybe bites off more than it can chew in under two hours…

Review of The Front Runner (2018)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 05 Nov 2018

In this grim reality, The Front Runner feels quaint, almost a hopeful thing, crafted in the old ways with a pitiable naïveté…

Even about a presidential campaign scandal of 30 years ago, The Front Runner could not be more pertinent or timely to the politics of today…

Review of The Front Runner (2018)

By A.o. Scott (2,100) for New York Times (5,786) on 05 Nov 2018

Reitman uses Altmanesque sound design and serpentine camera movements to convey the chaos and kineticism of a process in constant, frantic…

Review of The Front Runner (2018)

By Kyle Smith (1,916) for National Review (314) on 05 Nov 2018

Reitman cops to modeling his film after The Candidate, which was considered the cutting edge of cynicism in 1972 but today seems naïve…

Given the upheavals of the past two years, along the fault line between electoral and sexual politics, Reitman could have told the sorry saga…

Review of The Front Runner (2018)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for TheWrap (3,203) on 05 Nov 2018

Review of The Front Runner (2018)
