The film *Reagan* is a biographical movie examining the life and impact of Ronald Reagan, with Dennis Quaid playing the central character. My viewing felt like a combination of remembering things from the past and evaluating what I was seeing, as it traces Reagan's story from his beginnings to his time in office, presented alongside narration by Jon Voight portraying a former KGB operative. Quaid does a good job; he successfully embodies Reagan’s personality and style. The movie focuses on important events, like the attempt on his life and his connection with Nancy Reagan, which brought some emotional weight to the story. I did feel that the film moved slowly, and its length of 135 minutes was too long, causing it to drag at times. The movie has received criticism for presenting a version of Reagan that seems overly positive, frequently avoiding important issues such as the Iran-Contra affair. While I liked the nostalgic aspects and how California looked in the film, I didn't think it gave a well-rounded view of his presidency. Ultimately, *Reagan* provides an interesting look at a complicated person, but doesn’t quite manage to tell a complete story. People who remember that period might find it comforting, though others may wish for greater detail and precision.
