Reagan

Phenomenal casting. Unlike some historical films like “Napoleon,” you didn’t need to know much about history in order to follow this film and it was very clear. Very unique how it has the narrators be a young Russian trying to understand the fall of the Soviets from and old Russian spy who claims to have seen and predicted Reagan taking them down from the very beginning of Reagan’s acting career. It puts Reagan on a pedestal in a different way. Although it’s right leaving a tad this was a great film to send a message that America is one and we all need to stand together to represent freedom. The filming and special effects to have the audience see into Reagan’s soul and the importance of his work was very edge of your seat worthy. The only negative is that his work as governor was rushed through.

Well intentioned, clearly made with love, but the film is weak. The main problem I see is that generally, it plays like a series of vignettes, something I've said and seen on a few other films. The story seems disjointed until the later half.
