Frost/Nixon

The movie was utterly riveting. The range of emotions portrayed during this intellectual boxing match of an interview took my breath away. Probably it helped that I had no idea how the story turned out, if it was good TV or bad, if Nixon was viewed sympathetically or not after it aired. My grasp of American history is regrettably tenuous. But even without having the back-story, it was such a good story. I watched a woman get up to go to the bathroom and actually pitied her, that she'd miss some of it.
