Entertainment Weekly -
Surges with an energy and visual verve that improve the play and enhance the themes of dramatist Peter Morgan's script.

The A.V. Club -
In a masterful performance, Langella highlights Nixon's oily charm and guile.
|

|
Los Angeles Times -
The result is involving, engrossing cinema -- more thrilling, in fact, than Howard's "The Da Vinci Code" -- filmmaking of a type rarely seen anymore and sorely missed.

ReelViews -
Howard and Morgan have transformed this story into something more than an embellished re-telling of recent history. They have shaped a tragedy that is almost Shakespearean in force.

Newsweek -
Frost/Nixon works even better on screen. Director Ron Howard and Morgan, adapting his own play, have both opened up the tale and, with the power of close-ups, made this duel of wits even more intimate and suspenseful.
