While Quaid is praiseworthy in the role, this movie is nothing but a love letter to a man who is pretty much shown as having zero flaws. History tells us otherwise. It's such a shame that what could have been a true and moving biography was turned into republican propaganda to try to make Reagan some kind of folk hero. The man was used by Christian nationalists and profit evangelicals like Falwell because he needed their money and support. Bu the end of his second term, it was clear he was in mental decline, and that deserved more attention. A flawed and almost fictional rose-colored goasses look st the former president.
