Trivia
Most of the film was shot in Oklahoma due to a then-new tax rebate law launched by the state in 2020, and due to COVID-19 restrictions that were much lighter compared to other states. Filming took place in Oklahoma City, Guthrie, Edmond, and Crescent, Oklahoma. Using CGI and special effects, the Oklahoma City Capitol Building was dressed up to look like the United States Capitol Building, and the Temple of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry in Guthrie doubled for The White House.

Goofs
During the nightclub scene in 1941, the band performs "Swing on a Star," which wouldn't be introduced until 1944.

Quotes
Ronald Reagan: As I see it, we don't mistrust each other because we're armed. We're armed because we mistrust each other. But I think that we both agree on the most important thing. That nuclear war can never be won, and must never be fought.

Crazy credits
At the end of the movie, during the credits, there are several actual photos from scenes shown in the movie.

Solid pacing for a Bio Pc

When there is so much to tell about the life of a person like Ronald Reagan, the choice for using motion graphics plus live action footage to give the audience these important pieces of narrative information in bite size bits was very strategic and well executed.

Dennis Quaid is fantastic, the man can carry a film like a pro. John Voight is the second heart of this film. He plays a character that I would say is a rival to Quaid's Reagan, but not necessarily an antagonist.

Now for the con, there is only one. The prosthetics for the actors to make them younger in the flash backs is noticeable, but not the worst thing ever.
