FROST/NIXON (2008) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Ron Howard

Written by - Peter Morgan

Starring - Frank Langella, Michael Sheen

 

"The story of the post Watergate Nixon interview where moderately talk show host David Frost disgraced the former president. A compelling wordy political drama which looks nicely at how television shape shifted public opinion. Howard shows great skill in not falling into cliché while the screenplay remains gripping throughout by presenting the meeting between the two men as an intricate bout. Langella’s performance as Richard Nixon is ace and avoids caricature."
