  Excellent Picture on True History
Review created: 08/02/09

I have known of David Frost since the time of TWTWTW - That Was The Week That Was when he appeared with the likes of John Cleese and the Two Ronnies. FrostNixon is of course a dramatisation of an already dramatic event - David Frost interviewing the then disgraced ex-president Nixon. It shows a no holds barred Nixon getting the upper hand, by far, in the interviews with an apparantly inept Frost, (who, at the time, was mostly known as a "Chat" show host) until Nixon finally succumbs to Frosts probing questions on the background to the Watergate conspiracy. The film is a true testament to the events, as verified by David Frost himself with some very fine acting by the cast. This is without a doubt the finest film that Ron Howard has directed to date and gives a true look into the events at the time. The Blu Ray copy I have is faultless in both picture and sound quality and includes a couple of extras on Nixon which are gems. 5 star plus.

A remarkable performance by Frank Langella as Richard Nixon transforms this unexpected Ron Howard film into a gripping and unforgettable experience. The behind the scenes of the famous David Frost, Richard Nixon interviews pale in comparison to the compelling sight of Nixon/Langella thinking. It was difficult to forget that Michael Sheen was not Tony Blair but David Frost. Sheen's Frost is an entertaining foil to Langella's somber,sad, desolate portrait of the former president. Ron Howard finds a winning pace giving the true tale a fictional slant. Unfortunately I never saw the stage production and the film never betrays its theatrical origins. In a bizarre sort of way this is Ron Howard's most cinematic film. I highly recommend it.
