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.

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.

It comes so close to parody that it brings to mind the “Saturday Night Live” “Mastermind” skit.

Rated: 1/4

Those who are looking for a film about Reagan the man will not find much of that here. Instead they get a full view of Reagan the politician.

Rated: 5/10

People's World

The new biopic leans into this nostalgia with ahistorical bravado and selective story-telling. If you are looking for a more thought-provoking cinematic dive into a critical part of history, you’ll need to look elsewhere.

Wonderful insight to the man. Penelope Ann Millers performance deserves an Oscar nomination. Definitely a must see movie for anyone who wants to know and appreciate how to win a war without firing a shot. Very poignant with what is happening today.
