Fox News: Author of books that inspired 'Reagan' movie reflects on wild disparity between critic, audience reviews
The film "Reagan" has garnered a stark contrast between its 98% audience score and an 18% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes. Author Paul Kengor likens this disparity to Reagan's landslide victory in the 1980 election, suggesting that many critics, born after Reagan's presidency, lack an understanding of his popularity.
Kengor emphasizes that the film's positive portrayal of Reagan and themes of unity are met with criticism from those who claim to desire such narratives. He argues that the negative reviews reflect a partisan bias among critics, who struggle to accept a time when Reagan was broadly liked, even by some liberals.
