@ around 15 minutes when Paul & Connie are talking in the dinner a camera operator can be seen reflected in the mirror behind Connie. The camera operator is visible on the left side of the mirror before slowly moving to the right out of shot.

Zitate
President Richard M. Nixon: Bob, I don't know anything about that.
H.R. 'Bob' Haldeman: No. Of course not. Sir. Uh, my mistake.
President Richard M. Nixon: I won't stand for anyone looking into Colson.
H.R. 'Bob' Haldeman: Right now it's just some flat-foots at DC Metro.
President Richard M. Nixon: Yeah, by tomorrow it'll be the FBI. Colson will fold like testicles in a nutcracker. I don't trust the Bureau.
H.R. 'Bob' Haldeman: Uh, I assure you with Pat Gray acting as... .
President Richard M. Nixon: Acting like a balloon maybe. Ever since Hoover died they're pissed off that we didn't promote from the ranks. Who's that one, uh... Mark something... satin, uh... velvet, uh... .
H.R. 'Bob' Haldeman: Felt.
President Richard M. Nixon: Felt like a weasel when I shook his hand.

Brilliant Satire of the Watergate Scandal

This is not a documentary nor an accurate history of events but a humorous send-up of the scandal itself. The story itself is a funny-mirror reflection of the (not so) mysterious tape erasure.

Meandering away from Watergate, most of the film explores and revels in eccentric characters and their interactions. Subtle humor and satire abound if you pay attention and let down your hair: conspiracy theories involving Wonder Bread and ITT; Bossa nova music; broken tape machines; mysterious fishermen; one-eyed desk clerks.

Smatterings of the missing 18½ minute recording are revealed and they are nothing more than what we expect although amplified through a filter of ridiculousness and cartoonish caricatures. It really helps to be a student of Watergate and recognize the various characters like Mark Felt (who is referenced hilariously), H. R. Haldeman, Al Haig and Rosemary Woods in order to "get" all the jokes.

This film is an unexpected surprise. Wry, intelligent humor, a brisk pace and wonderful characters make for winning combination. Worth a second viewing to catch all those subtle cues and clues. Bravo, Mr. Mirvish.
