Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Nixon far overstays its welcome with an increasingly tedious final hour devoted largely to slogging through the minutiae of Watergate.
– Todd McCarthy,
Variety,
13 Feb 2001
fresh:
Nixon starts, like a horror movie, on a dark and stormy night, with the president prowling around a room of the White House like Dracula in his lair.
– Kenneth Turan,
Los Angeles Times,
13 Feb 2001
fresh:
Without question, Nixon dwarfs everything in the American cinema since Schindler's List.
– Hal Hinson,
Washington Post,
16 Feb 2001
fresh:
What it finally adds up to is a huge mixed bag of waxworks and daring, a film that is furiously ambitious even when it goes flat, and startling even when it settles for eerie, movie-of-the-week mimicry.
– Janet Maslin,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
rotten:
As wayward and self-regarding as its subject, the film long overstays its welcome.
