US biographical drama about American Senator Gary Hart and the sex scandal that scuppered his 1988 presidential campaign.
A sharp-witted and wide-reaching account of a bright political hope’s fall from grace, with an impressive ensemble cast and a great performance from Jackman.
If I wanted to watch All the President’s Men, I’d watch All the President’s Men.
Ultimately, it’s a film that makes a lot of noise without having much to say.
Jason Reitman’s clotted and evasive movie.
The unravelling of US presidential hopeful Gary Hart’s campaign in 1988 is faithfully recorded in The Front Runner, but the film labours once it starts demonising the press.
