Excellent translation of the play to the screen and depiction of the story behind the unprecedented interviews of disgraced former president Richard Nixon by talk-show host and playboy David Frost. Uniformly well-realized, convincing, rooted in its time, with wonderful supporting performances, it is the Oscar-caliber performances by Frank Langella and Michael Sheen that elevate the movie to the highest levels seen this year.
