The Front Runner - Kritiken

Aside from Jackman’s strong lead performance, there are also small, impactful turns from JK Simmons as Hart’s campaign manager and a slightly underused Vera Farmiga...

Jackman dishes up one of his finest performances yet.

As Hart’s tolerant wife, Lee, Vera Farmiga is reliably great... And Molly Ephraim provides quiet wisdom and strength as the rare female leader within Hart’s campaign...

Every tic and quirk from the Altman stylebook is here... In Reitman’s hands, it’s essentially pastiche... ...but it’s a good one, and effectively captures the knife-edge bustle of political stagecraft.

...a well-acted, thorough examination of a moment in time when a politician's personal life cost him a fighting chance at the presidency.

Snyggt skildrad sann historia om politk och journalistik i USA.

Hugh Jackman som Gary Hart är helt enastående, han försvinner helt in i rollen, man ser bara Hart hela tiden.
