Reitman loses his focus and, despite the brilliant portrayal by Hugh Jackman, the film insists on telling everything in a diffuse and confused way.

Forcefully directed by Jason Reitman (Up In The Air), the film is essentially an origin story accounting for the venality of today's rabid media culture, covering hot-button topics such as invasion of privacy, newsroom bias and double-standards.

In a similar vein to Steven Spielberg's The Post, The Front Runner delves into the important role of journalism in a world filled with corruption and "fake news".

The Front Runner displays its story in various slopes and each one has a notable amount of density and quality. [Full Review in Spanish]

Reitman is good at posing questions for which he doesn't have answers and, although that makes for compelling drama, the results feel incomplete and frustrating.

"The Front Runner" doesn't hit us over the head with parallels to today's political and media world. It doesn't have to.

People answer in punchlines here, and leave it to director Reitman to always lead with irony.
November 21, 2018
There's an argument in the film about what is interesting and what is important, and how the two should be weighed. In that spirit, "The Front Runner" is interesting, but it's not weighty or assured enough to be important.

As played by an aloof Hugh Jackman - the Australian actor affects an uneven accent - Hart is little more than a cipher.
