From dusty small-town roots, to the glitter of Hollywood, and then on to commanding the world stage, REAGAN is a cinematic journey of overcoming the odds. Told through the voice of Viktor Petrovich, a former KGB agent whose life becomes inextricably linked with Ronald Reagan's when Reagan first caught the Soviets' attention as an actor in Hollywood, this film offers a perspective as unique as it is captivating. Dennis Quaid brings to life a story that transcends the boundaries of a traditional biopic, offering a profound exploration of the enduring impact of the power of one man who overcame the odds, sustained by the love of a woman who supported him in his journey.

Critics Consensus

While Reagan the movie undoubtedly admires Reagan the man, its cloying and glossy rendering of history flattens the 40th U.S. President into caricature.

Miles Klee

Rolling Stone

Reagan can’t even trace the broad outlines of your stock biopic, because it refuses to allow in its protagonist any kind of complicating flaw, and the geopolitical stalemate that acts as the primary conflict is too big and abstract for the frame.

Like Reagan the actor and Reagan the president, Reagan the new movie has a strained relationship with reality.

New York Magazine/Vulture

Without any lifelike characters, it’s hard to find oneself caring, and thus, Reagan’s dedication to such narrow themes proves limiting.

Ultimately, Reagan is an insubstantive Greatest Hits compendium LP existing to spin, spin, spin positive, no matter what.

The Curvy Film Critic

Jumping timelines and hitting rom a Russian POV make this eccentric biopic hard to follow. However, it does highlight beautifully crafted performances from Dennis Quaid and Penelope Ann Miller
