3.5/5
"Some of Nixon's scenes are standouts, but it's Hopkins' crazy rants that you won't forget."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

"It's grand-scale moviemaking, but eventually its scope and polish are less compelling than its messiness and incompleteness."  Philadelphia City Paper  Cynthia Fuchs

"Riveting drama about a power-hungry politician brought down by guilt and paranoia."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

3/4
"Factual or not, there's no denying that Nixon has moments when it is nothing short of compelling."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

3.5/4
"That Stone could evoke so much sympathy for such a flawed man is testament to his skills as a filmmaker."  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

4.5/5
"Hopkins doesn't try to look like or resemble Nixon, but he does wind up embodying him."  Netflix  James Rocchi

1.5/5
"It's clear that Stone hates Nixon with a capital H."  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

4/4
"Stone meshes together flashbacks, newsreels, black&white and color as well as different types of film, therefore creating a very complex piece. He turns Nixon's life into a real modern tragedy."  Montreal Film Journal  Kevin N. Laforest

high +1 out of -4..+4
"This is not a film that reaches for easy and pat answers, even if it does at times seem overly harsh on the man."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Mark R. Leeper

4/4
"A riveting tragedy."  TheMovieReport.com  Michael Dequina

A-
"The filmmaker's deftness at evoking theme and sentiment through editorial montages within individual dramatic scenes reaches an apotheosis here."  Lessons of Darkness  Nick Schager

3/5
"Stone sempre foi prolixo, é verdade... mas desta vez ele foi longe demais: é melhor ficar calado quando não se tem nada de interessante para dizer."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

3/4
"The maverick director has outdone himself with a visually stunning, sweeping epic of the life of one of this country's most enigmatic political figures."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

4/10
