Just watched Frost/Nixon. Ron Howard's direction and story telling ability is brilliant. Great 70s's atmosphere from the start sets a solid stage for the superbly cast film.

Frank Langella & Micheal Sheen (Nixon & Frost) are great in the roles. Both actor's portrayals are a study of affectation and body language, pleasurably accurate and yet not simply an impersonation.

The film is not a two man show, quite the contrary. In fact, the wealth of supporting roles is perhaps the finest feature of this film.


Not to be missed, I am not convinced the part of Nixon's wife Patricia isn't played by William Defoe in drag !
