Reagan (2024) Movie Review | A Missed Opportunity in Political Storytelling

when I heard about Reagan I was curious a biopic of such a pivotal figure starring Dennis Quaid had potential but it didn't live up to the promise the movie covers Reagan's life from Hollywood to the White House but it does so with a heavy hand The Narrative framed through a Soviet spies perspective feels unnecessary and detracts from the story Quaid's portrayal of Reagan lacks depth relying more on imitation than character study the film attempts to explore themes like heroism and morality but ends up glossing over Reagan's complexities especially concerning his policies and their broader impact visually it's competent but unremarkable with historical footage feeling more like a gimmick overall Reagan feels more like hero worship than a serious exploration making it hard to recommend did the film resonate with you differently share your thoughts
