Comments: Frost/Nixon is an actor's film in the truest sense of the word. I was wondering how the film would keep my attention until the actual interviews took place, and that answer was great performances. Parts of Frost/Nixon aren't the most engaging, but Michael Sheen and Frank Langella are excellent, and carry the film along until the interviews occur. I wasn't born when Watergate incident erupted, so it's place in historical history is somewhat lost on me. But the film helps make it up, despite the fact that several portions of the film are contested as being mildly inaccurate. Still, Frost/Nixon is a fine film and worthy of its praise. Definitely recommended.
