Elvis & Nixon's reviews
Media reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
For the bulk of the ride, it?s a wickedly funny interpretation of the one of the great confounding moments in American pop culture and political history.
Entertainment Weekly
As a surreal slice of history served up nearly half a century later, it feels oddly satisfying: A reminder not just of simpler times, but of all the other wild untold stories we may never know, just because no camera was there to capture them.
The Hollywood Reporter
Featuring hilarious yet acutely observed performances by Michael Shannon and Kevin Spacey as the titular characters, Elvis & Nixon, receiving its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, is a hoot.
Vulture
A thoroughly charming comedy that bobs on a sea of incongruities.
Variety
While its sense of humor takes some gettin? used to, the sheer spaciness of Liza Johnson?s stranger-than-fiction political satire ultimately proves its greatest asset.
The Guardian
When you have two of today?s best working actors acting on a high-wire to do justice to two of the most recognisable figures of the 20th century, it?s best to keep the focus solely located on them.
