Nixon as viewed from the Far Left

Rating: 6/10 (1 February 2009)

Slow moving account of the drama behind and in front of the cameras surrounding the Nixon Frost interviews. Interesting at times for the outstanding performance by Langella, but otherwise hampered by a script that is so left wing it was apparently written by moveon.org.
The film leaves you with the impression that Frost won and Nixon lost, but in fact both men profited. Nixon's effort at rehabilitation largely succeeded, as both the Washington Post, and Newsweek acknowledged.
While his record was tarnished, he finished his life as a successful author, and elder statesman.
If your a liberal, all of the above is sauce for the goose, but if you're a conservative you're left with a slow moving film that for the sake of drama isn't always as honest as it ought to be.
