The Front Runner's reviews
Media reviews
The Playlist
Yes, Jackman?s impressive portrayal of Hart is at the center of 'The Front Runner' (it?s one of the best performances of his career), but Reitman uses a large cast of characters to give depth to the events in question.
The Guardian
There?s an authenticity underpinning the portrayal of events in 'The Front Runner' that lifts it above the less-than-groundbreaking set-up.
Collider
It's not only an enjoyable watch filled with terrific actors, but also that it's a movie that will have you talking afterwards. It has ideas that are worth discussing and still incredibly relevant.
Indiewire
The film is broadly sympathetic of Hart's situation; it doesn't absolve him of being a shitty husband, but it side-eyes the press for whipping the story into a national firestorm.
Variety
The 'Juno' director's got his groove back.
The Wrap
It doesn't tell us how we should feel or pretend to know all the answers. For some, that might be frustrating, but 'The Front Runner' delivers more than enough provocative material to make it a wild, occasionally hopeful, often depressing ride.
