Frost Nixon, 2008

Director:  Ron Howard

Awards:  nominated for lots but apparently did not win anything
Starring:  Frank Langella; Michael Sheen; Kevin Bacon; Rebecca Hall
IMDB Link:  Frost Nixon

sez says:  brilliant.  Langella becomes Nixon.  It is amazing that such a compelling story could be made out of how a TV interview came to happen, but they certainly did it.

mjc says:  the images of the house in Southern California where the film was shot remain with me and, yes, Langella's performance was on the mark.  I vaguely remember Frost so I can't say how Sheen did, but as almost always, Howard's storytelling is engrossing.
