"Michael Sheen's portrayal of Frost also is fantastic but, because a large part of the dramatic tension is supposed to be Nixon's gravitas vs. the innocence and flippancy of Frost, his character is less richly nuanced."
Michael Sheen has played a brilliant second fiddle to Helen Mirren and now to Frank Langella, and I hope he does receive the full recognition that his talent deserves sometime soon on the World stage.
Plenty of awards and nominations in the UK however, and recognised more for his stage work including playing Frost before the film was conceived.
