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."

"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
