I was hooked from start to end

Rating: 8/10 (8 February 2019)

I watched this movie for the first time in 2019, so I'm a bit late to the party.
I've loved Ron Howard's "Rush" from 2013 ever since its release and by now I've concluded that Howard really brings out rivalries in a most captivating of ways.
The way this movie was represented made it incredibly entertaining and informative. As somehow who wasn't alive when the Watergate scandal occurred, this interview between Frost and Nixon wasn't something I'd heard of before. But after watching this movie, I immediately set out to listen to the whole interview.
This movie is told in a very palpable way and you feel for both characters throughout to end up satisfied with the result of the interview. It becomes evident early on that Nixon was despised by a large number of the people, but Frank Langella's incredible portrayal of Nixon actually made it easy to sympathize with him. Langella was rightfully nominated for an Oscar for this movie and in my honest opinion, even more compelling than the winner, Sean Penn.
The stand-out positives of this film are acting performances all around, the very interesting story-line, a phenomenal script filled with great dialogue and a truly captivating rivalry shown on screen with solid editing to enhance it!
I'd urge anyone to take a look at this movie, the script will most likely ensure that you become hooked into the story!
