The Front Runner - Recensioner

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

Snyggt skildrad sann historia om politk och journalistik i USA.

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.

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

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.
