Elvis & Nixon — It is farcical and very difficult to get a good feeling for — 7*/10

• Story: I thought it was going to be much more funny, but it's serious most of the time. The thing is that too many elements turns around things that are certainly artistic interpretations, so the mix of funny and serious doesn't work for me.
• Pacing: It seems to go by fits and spurts. You get settled in a certain way and it changes on you. You get settled again and it changes again. Multiple times.
• Ending: As any true story, it's kind of boring, but that's why we have fictional works.
• Characters: Interesting interpretations. If I had to imagine Nixon, I would imagine him like that, exactly. Not true for Elvis, he seems unreal, too plastic. That being said, I think the those interpretations are definitively the cornerstone of this film and make it as good as it can be.
• Acting: Very good, for the most part. This also a key element of this flick.
• Known actors: Kevin Spacey, Michael Shannon and Colin Hanks.
• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2093991/
• Entertainment value: Sort of good, you really need to like the style.
• Who is it for? Those intrigued by this little factual piece of history, but I'm not sure. Not really for me. Maybe, I'm just not catching stuff on the third degree.
