As wayward and self-regarding as its subject, the film long overstays its welcome.

What it finally adds up to is a huge mixed bag of waxworks and daring, a film that is furiously ambitious even when it goes flat, and startling even when it settles for eerie, movie-of-the-week mimicry.
Janet Maslin, New York Times

Without question, Nixon dwarfs everything in the American cinema since Schindler's List.
Hal Hinson, Washington Post

Nixon starts, like a horror movie, on a dark and stormy night, with the president prowling around a room of the White House like Dracula in his lair.
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Nixon far overstays its welcome with an increasingly tedious final hour devoted largely to slogging through the minutiae of Watergate.
