Frost / Nixon, a review by Rich

Title: Frost / Nixon

Runtime:123
Certificate:R
Year:2008
Genres:Drama

Plot:My Review:
Fascinating insight into an historical moment, I had watched the last interview before on TV, and this film fills in all the gaps of the hows and whys surrounding the final admission by Nixon in his interview with Frost, and some superb acting brings the whole piece to life.
I went into the film with low expectations, but under Howards unfussy direction the 70's feel, the political turmoil of the times, and the drama of the final piece were totally authentic and absorbing. The performances are perfectly understated, Michael Sheen again proves to be one of todays brightest and most versatile performers, but the movie is dominated by Frank Langellas wonderful depiction of Nixon.
400 million people watched the final interview worldwide, a remarkable achievement by Frost against so many barriers and financial blocks, and after this movie my dislike of him has turned into respect.
A perfect balance of political intrigue, tension, drama and humour.

It has now been five years since I bought this set and I finally came around watching it.
When the series was to be cancelled after the fourth season, most relevant storylines were already wrapped up. So this season came off with a weak start. I never cared for the telepath storyline in this season. Mostly because I didn't like how Byron and his people were portrayed.
I also missed Ivanova. But I must admit, that Lockley filled the void well. I liked Tracy Scoggins much better here than as Cat in Lois & Clark's first season.
As the most storylines were already wrapped up, JMS could take a slower pace to wrap up some loose ends and to give each character a proper farewell. This is the strength of the second half of this season. I also liked that they slowly introduced their replacements on the station. It gives a feeling that there could be another series with a new set of characters.
This series is still one of the best TV shows, with season three being my personal favourite. It showed that a series can contain a planned out continuous storyline instead of doing standalone episodes. And what I find amazing is, that most of the episodes were written by JMS himself (92 out of 110 episodes). Except for one episode in season 5 he wrote all of season 3 to 5 and most of the episodes of the first two seasons!
