Our take
Adapted to the screen from a play by Peter Morgan (The Queen, Rush), Frost/Nixon digs into the manipulative yet vulnerable nature of modern politics to the thrilling rhythm of its screenplay. A boxing film without the gloves, with standout performances from Michael Sheen and Frank Langella.
