The Front Runner has an interesting tone. It does not have the depth of thinking and mapping like an art film, and it is not just an exciting commercial entertainment film.

Vera Farmiga breathes life into a character who could otherwise be reduced to stereotyped contempt, making it three-dimensional. The overall effect of the film allows viewers to ignore some minor issues
