Oliver Stone's controversial drama about the Nixon years in the White House stars Anthony Hopkins in a genuinely great performance as the scandal-plagued president. The film attempts to wed suggestions of Nixon's formative experiences as a boy to his political connections with shady movers and shakers and finally to his self-destructive tenure in the Oval Office. The Watergate scandal is revisited rather impressionistically--it may be hard for viewers who weren't alive then to get a sense of what the crisis was about. The parade of stars playing figures in Nixon's orbit--J.T. Walsh as John Ehrlichman, James Woods as Bob Haldeman, David Hyde Pierce as John Dean, etc.--is fun if a tad distracting. Joan Allen got a well-deserved Oscar nomination as First Lady Pat Nixon, and Hopkins got one as well. --Tom Keogh

With "Nixon" director Oliver Stone aims for the next "Citizen Kane," and he proves he's no Orson Welles.
It seems odd that a movie sequel can be more melodramatic than its antecedent of fifty years ago but that's exactly the case here, a case made definite by Stone's silly juvenile plagiarism of Kane's beginning. In "Citizen Kane" there's the ominous dark cavernous mansion that bespeaks of a life so grand yet ultimately so empty, followed by the rush of reporters in a newsroom determined ... Read More

Both JFK and Nixon reveal the director to be an obsessive paranoid personality. Nixon drags.

It's a shame that Oliver Stone's inner demons are wasted on this 3 1/2 hour bloated mess. Very little of this movie is based on fact. It looks like it was written by every Democrat official and Hollywood activist who hated Nixon. Despite the movie's deadly length, there is very little here about Nixon's real accomplishments. Instead, it's one long hate-fest from the Democratic National Committee.
I recommend reading some books on Nixon to get a real picture of the man. Nixon did not "invade" ... Read More

The first hour of this film, after a brief introduction to set the basis of the storyline for the viewer, is a flashback that displays the depth of the subject of this film. The rapid fire nature of the topics that are dealt with forces the viewer to piece together events on the fly, which I am sure was the case during these troubling times.
The approach that Mr. Stone takes to this story telling should be considered an artistic interpretation of what these times really were. The character ... Read More

The Film:
Let me say right now by way of disclosure: I love Oliver Stone films. I don't think he's the "conspiracy nut" he's often painted as. I do think he is a biased historian. He has an ideological axe to grind, especially insofar as American politics are concerned. But it's easy enough to detect and set aside (if you want to), and nonetheless he is a stunningly talented filmmaker.
"Nixon" presents probably the best of Stone's "presidential" films (JFK, Nixon, W.). It contains a ... Read More
