I love everything about this film, from the objective story telling of a critical moment in history, to the acting, to the cinematography to the score and even the costume design, as perfect a film as one can be imo.
I am captivated from start to finish with Frost/Nixon and that is with repeated viewings.
Anyone else agree, or disagree.
I thought it was very good, an 8/10 from me.

The historical inaccuracies bothered me. Frost got nothing out of Nixon. Nixon and his team had planned, well in advance, exactly what he would say in the Frost interviews. Nixon's staff didn't think all that much of Frost - they figured Nixon would have his way in the interviews, and potentially restore his image.
In fact, they were right. Not that Nixon was ever big time in Washington again - but he did become an elder statesman, as well as an advisor to future presidents.
Frost, on the other hand, as far as I know - never progressed beyond being a talk show host.
Plus the scene featuring a drunk Nixon on the phone with Frost. Entirely fabricated, it never happened.
These issues aside, it was ok. Langella was pretty good, so was Sheen.
6/10
It's a very good movie. I wouldn't go as far as a 10/10 but a strong 8 or weak 9 is appropriate.
