Reagan (2024) – Directed by Sean McNamara

A wave of emotions crashes over the audience as Christian Sebaldt’s gorgeous cinematography captures the raw beauty of Rancho Del Cielo. The mountains appear endless as the tall trees blow in the wind, with each blade of grass glistening in the setting sun. The president rides towards the magnificent blue waters of the Pacific, promising brighter days ahead for America while facing the early stages of Alzheimer’s Disease. The sounds of sniffling noses echo throughout the theater as moviegoers fight back tears.

Sean McNamara’s biopic, Reagan, cuts straight through political divides and connects with audiences on a human level. Based on Paul Kengor’s 2006 book, The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism, the film tells the life story of the 40th president, his unwavering love of country, and his calling to a life of public service.

Reagan hits all the right notes at all the right moments, taking audiences on a powerful trip back to the height of the Cold War. Simultaneously, the films looks at how a small-town boy from Illinois would grow up to become president of the Screen Actors Guild, governor of California, and president of the United States. Many defining moments of Ronald Reagan’s private life are also depicted – lessons learned from his mother, advice he received from trusted friends and advisors, and his loving marriage to Nancy Reagan.

Dennis Quaid completely transforms himself into Ronald Reagan, sporting the perfectly combed hair, cowboy boots, and witty one-liners. Quaid’s depictions of The Great Communicator’s famous speeches are sure to please political historians. Penelope Ann Miller also warms hearts as the president’s loving wife, and fierce protector, Nancy Reagan. Together, Quaid and Miller encapsulate the remarkable love story between “Ronnie” and Nancy that transcended an assassination attempt, political adversity, and the president’s ultimate passing due to Alzheimer’s Disease. Their performances warm the hearts of conservatives and liberals alike while evoking many laughs and tears throughout the film.

A surprisingly emotional film, Reagan will be remembered as one of the most touching biopics about a U.S. president ever produced.
