As a fan of boxing I like how this vaguely seemed like a round by round match between Frost and Nixon. I enjoyed Rockwell's performance in this a lot, especially his first encounter with Frost. I liked how his character along with Platt woke Frost up to what a lot of Americans thought about Nixon. Overall the movie does a good job telling the story of an important moment moment in American history, without boring you. And you leave learning more about Nixon as a regular person too.

Langella deserves every piece of praise it can get, my second favorite performance of the year, right behind Rourke in the wrestler. The performances of Bacon and Rockwell should be noted as well, as, though they didn't get much screen time, they both shone whenever they made their way to the screen.

Sheen as Frost is very fun to watch and Langella is also really enjoyable in his great perforance as Richard Nixon making the film very palatable. The whole thing just feels misguided though: if the main draw of your movie is that it is based on history then why depart from the truth so drastically with the phone call? And does the film really add anything to those original interviews? Other than those tacky 5 second cutaway interviews that is...

Frost/Nixon (2008) is a little slow in the beginning, but the last 45-min is fucking awesome. Ron Howard (director) really knows how to build tension.

Very good movie. I've never seen the actual Frost/Nixon interviews, but I remember quite vividly Watergate and Nixon resigning and all the negative fallout from that point on in his life. The movie did a fantastic job of showing Nixon as a megalomaniac and yet vulnerable at the same time. In all these years I never once thought what kind of loneliness must stem from being ostracized by all but a handful of people after reaching the heights of power and fame. I found myself feeling sorry for the

Langella falls into caricature at times, notably with the voice, but other he's damn stellar, as is Michael Sheen. Extremely interesting things about Nixon explored that I hadn't known or even though of before and doesn't take sides, which I really enjoyed.

An engaging intellectual duel put to film. You don't need to be a goddamn Nixon scholar to tell that it's playing fast and loose with certain facts, but the film makes no claim of being a documentary, so whatever. Frank Langella's Nixon is broad and theatrical but very engaging.

Brilliantly executed. Frank Langella simply shines as Richard Nixon. For a movie whose centerpiece is interviews that are already available to the public, it does a great job of transforming the existing media into a compelling story, complete with a believable power struggle.

Underwhelming is probably the best way to describe this. Certainly the content is captivating, but that just makes the inconsistent execution all the more frustrating. So much time is spent on showing us Frost's incompetence and luck and we're told more about the the titular face-off than we actually see. The performances are good, though, and the second half hits its marks well.

Very intense. Same feeling of excitement as watching Rocky fighting in ring against some tough opponent. Even when you know how it will all end you still on the edge of your seat. And that's no surprise seeing how all team (director/editor/cinematographer) previously made the boxing film - "Cinderella Man". Frank Langella gives us a champion performance in this recreation of a heavyweight TV interview. I just wish there were some deeper insight into characters.

Too many scenes are made up, it just loses authenticity and you stop thinking that the majority of the movie is actually what really happened. But Langella is amazing, and as another view on Nixon, it's definitely an interesting movie.

I think what I liked most about this film is Howard's direction. The material is something that could have been adapted in so many different ways, but I think Howard hit the nail on the head. It's sharp and perfectly paced. Langella and Sheen are great, as every reviewer has said already. The only thing that could have made this even better is if more time was spent on the actual interviews.

A pretty engrossing talking heads movie. Pretty restrained for a Ron Howard movie, and it's all the better for it. Langella definitely surprised and impressed as Nixon. Some scenes seemed to be a bit too short though, and a better look into Frost's reaction to the fist interviews would have been nice.

The climax wasn't as powerful as the scenes preceding it, leaving me with a cold and empty feeling about the movie as a whole; I think the trailer ruined that part for me - even though the outcome is predictable anyway.

An engrossing political knockout that features the dynamic duo of Frank Lagella and Michael Sheen as David Frost and former US president Richard Nixon. It gets its facts right, and succesfully transforms itself into a full-length drama.

A great story, a great script and a great cast come together to provide an exceptional movie. Langella and Sheen are incredible in their respective roles, but they're shored up by equally entertaining support from Rockwell, Platt and MacFadyen; in fact, the only weak point is Kevin Bacon, who seems a little lost in the mire.
