Movie Reviews

AV Club - 9/10 by Noel MurrayIt’s an approach that works well when the audience enjoys the company of this person who’s become a permanent fixture on their TV. But it’s also one that enrages opposing voters, who can only ever see the maddening fakery.
Variety - 9/10 by Owen GleibermanThe Reagan Show, unfortunately, isn’t the movie that it pretends to be. It’s a glib and scattered exposé.
The Big Issue - 8/10 by Edward LawrensonThe Reagan Show will offer a peculiarly potent hit of nostalgia and cultural cringe.
HeyUGuys - 8/10 by Jon LyusThis documentary provides an entraining and thought-provoking look at an immensely important public figure.
Hammer to Nail - 8/10 by Jessica BaxterThe result is equal parts amusing, upsetting, and apropos with regard to our current political poop show.
New York Times - 8/10 by A.O. ScottReagan’s legacy remains a live and contentious issue. His name is still routinely invoked, on the left and the right, with reverence and rage. The Reagan Show helps attach a face to the name, but it doesn’t accomplish much more than that.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Robert AbeleAs a brisk, sobering reminder of — if you’re inclined to think this way — where it all went wrong with image over meaningful policy in politics, The Reagan Show may feel like the doc of the moment.
The Playlist - 8/10 by Chris BarsantiSatirically tart throughout, The Reagan Show is still a schizoid experience. It mostly wants to dissect the Reaganites’ bread and circuses tactics, but also to present a thumbnail history of his presidency. Both are credibly delivered, but they don’t always necessarily mesh.
Vox - 8/10 by Alissa WilkinsonBy letting the past speak for itself, The Reagan Show stays both sober and light on its feet.
Time Out - 8/10 by Joshua RothkopfAn oblique history of ’80s disarmament laden with revealing off-camera asides, The Reagan Show makes the glossy surface profound. It’s the most crucial and unique doc of the moment, apart from the one that’s unfolding on the news every night.
