Dennis Quaid's portrayal of Ronald Reagan might be affable, yet the film misses the mark with its shallow representation of his complex legacy, avoiding the darker chapters.
Told through a fictional KGB agent's perspective, the film glosses over major events of Reagan's presidency, ignoring pivotal issues like the Iran Contra affair and the AIDS crisis.
In a moment of earnestness, Dennis Quaid's Reagan delivers the iconic line, 'There's power in clarity,' emphasizing Reagan's belief in straightforward communication to confront challenges boldly.
While 'Reagan' offers a hagiographic view of its subject, it succeeds in evoking themes of optimism and bipartisanship that feel alien in today's political climate.
