Full Plot Details

Writer, Producer, and Director Oliver Stone's exploration of former President Richard Nixon's strict Quaker upbringing, his nascent political strivings in law school, and his strangely self-effacing courtship of his wife, Pat (Joan Allen). The contradictions in his character are revealed early, in the vicious campaign against Helen Gahagan Douglas and the oddly masochistic Checkers speech. His defeat at the hands of the hated and envied John F. Kennedy in the 1960 presidential election, followed by the loss of the 1962 California gubernatorial race, seem to signal the end of his career. Yet, although wholly lacking in charisma, Nixon remains a brilliant political operator, seizing the opportunity provided by the backlash against the antiwar movement to take the Presidency in 1968. It is only when safely in office, running far ahead in the polls for the 1972 Presidential election, that his growing paranoia comes to full flower, triggering the Watergate scandal.

Movie Reviews

Flipside Movie Emporium - 10/10 by Rob VauxHopkin's strangely effective imitation conveys a real sense of tragedy to this most infamous U.S. President.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertIt takes on the resonance of classic tragedy. Tragedy requires the fall of a hero, and one of the achievements of Nixon is to show that greatness was within his reach.
Time Out - 10/10 by Geoff AndrewAs wayward and self-regarding as its subject, the film long overstays its welcome.
Groucho Reviews - 10/10 by Peter CanaveseA convincing blend of Shakespearean tragedy and Citizen Kane, Nixon paints the thirty-seventh President of the United States as a uniquely American tragic hero...[Blu-Ray]
Q Network Film Desk - 9/10 by James KendrickThat Stone could evoke so much sympathy for such a flawed man is testament to his skills as a filmmaker.
Netflix - 9/10 by James RocchiHopkins doesn't try to look like or resemble Nixon, but he does wind up embodying him.
Filmcritic.com - 9/10 by Christopher NullSome of Nixon's scenes are standouts, but it's Hopkins' crazy rants that you won't forget.
New York Times - 8/10 by Janet MaslinWhat it finally adds up to is a huge mixed bag of waxworks and daring, a film that is furiously ambitious even when it goes flat, and startling even when it settles for eerie, movie-of-the-week mimicry.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City) - 8/10 by Chris HicksYou never feel Hopkins' performance was anything less than an Oscar-worthy re-creation.
ReelViews - 8/10 by James BerardinelliIn this motion picture, Oliver Stone presents his vision of the forces that drove and motivated the late President. And, factual or not, there's no denying that Nixon has moments when it is nothing short of compelling.
