What critics are saying about Reagan

I should start this review by addressing the elephant in the room: I loathe Ronald Reagan’s presidency. I must own up to it and admit my bias. That said, one doesn’t have to like a person to like a movie that’s about them, so long as the story is interesting, the film is compelling, and there’s something to think about regardless of the content of the subject’s character. That, my friend, is where Reagan — the newest fluff piece from MJM Entertainment — fails.

Reagan (2024) — Film Review: This Ain't It, Chief

Reagan—starring Dennis Quaid as 40th U.S. President Ronald Reagan—is being viewed much differently by audiences and critics. Rotten Tomatoes critics largely ripped the film about the late president with an 18% “rotten” rating based on 40 reviews. RT’s Critics Consensus reads, “While Reagan the movie undoubtedly admires Reagan the man, its cloying and glossy rendering of history flattens the 40th U.S. President into caricature.”
