At the Cinema | Frost/... from whatsontv.co.uk
Ron Howard has skilfully opened out Peter Morgan’s hit play based on the historic 1977 TV interview by British TV personality David Frost (played by Michael Sheen) and disgraced former US president Richard Nixon (Frank Langella), but he’s kept the intimacy of the stage drama, and may even have intensified it. Even when you know the outcome - Frost famously wrung an apology out of Nixon for the Watergate scandal that had sunk his presidency three years earlier -  it’s still enthralling to watch the pair jockeying for the upper hand as their encounter unfolds.

original description

Acting titans Michael Sheen and Frank Langella go head to head in the highly acclaimed Frost/Nixon, which comes out on DVD and Blu-ray on Monday 18th May.  Directed by Ron Howard, the film is the dramatisation of the legendary showdown between disgraced former president Richard Nixon (Langella) and playboy TV journalist David Frost (Sheen). As the pair duel in a captivating and compelling battle of wits, the film climaxes in a reconstruction of the final, explosive interview: a game of political cat and mouse and psychological manipulation between the two men in which David Frost uses all of his investigative skill to humble Nixon and give the American people what they want most - an admission of guilt, an apology and closure on the scandal that sank his presidency.
