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.

What to Know

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.

Miles Klee Rolling Stone Reagan can’t even trace the broad outlines of your stock biopic, because it refuses to allow in its protagonist any kind of complicating flaw, and the geopolitical stalemate that acts as the primary conflict is too big and abstract for the frame. Sep 9, 2024 Full Review Paul M. Renfro Slate Like Reagan the actor and Reagan the president, Reagan the new movie has a strained relationship with reality. Sep 6, 2024 Full Review Bilge Ebiri 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. Sep 3, 2024 Full Review A.S. Hamrah n+1 Reagan harps on the phrase “clarity is power,” and it is clarity as a visual storytelling value more than patriotism or reason that makes this film into the most effective kind of propaganda. Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Wade Major FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) This is not an exploration, but a celebration, and for that reason it's undramatic. Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Joe Friar Fort Worth Report Fans of Reagan will like it…fans of history, not so much. Rated: 2/4 Sep 12, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

John J My wife and I loved this movie! It gave us a deeper perspective of the passions of Ronald Reagan and how he answered God's calling on his life. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Robert D So uplifting and beautiful! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Mary L The movie covers a lot about his life, and most of all it shows the side of Reagan that most Americans didnt know about. Towards the end, I teared up because it makes me proud to be an American! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Melinda B I really loved this movie! I loved learning about the man Ronald Reagan and I didnt understand before seeing this just how incredibly awesome he really was. He lived an incredible life. The only thing I found a little distracting was the CGI to make him look younger but I still loved the movie despite that Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Ann M. Best movie I’ve seen in a long time. Highly recommend this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Brad I really enjoyed learning more about President Regan and enjoyed seeing how it was portrayed from the view of KGB Agent Petrovich Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
