Reagan Show, The (PG)

Documentary

Made up entirely of archival news and White House footage, this documentary captures the pageantry, absurdity, and mastery of the made-for-TV politics of Ronald Reagan.

The critical consensus

Entertaining documentary about the titular president that is, at times, devastatingly relevant.

The Reagan Show doesn’t tell us much about Reagan that we didn’t already know. It reminds us what a limited and one-dimensional politician he was – but also what a consummate performer whenever the cameras were in sight.

It’s a bit lenient and nostalgic about the Gipper – which is made easier by the current incumbent.

***(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 04/10/2017

Some interesting insights, but nothing a cursory scan through Wikipedia would’t offer.
