Leave your thoughts about W..
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertW., a biography of President Bush, is fascinating. No other word for it. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanOliver Stone's take on Bush could be spot-on, or it could just be armchair analysis. All I know is that I was heavily involved in his vision. This is great, ambitious filmmaking from a director who is not afraid to delve inside his subjects. |
| San Francisco ExaminerRossiter DrakeA bold, thought-provoking and utterly fascinating character study that reveals the kinder, gentler side of a man previously defined by his disastrous policies and bumbling malapropisms. One of the year's best. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh Larsen...humanizes, though never legitimizes, our 43rd president. |
| Film4Richard LuckStone's best film in years and one of the decade's great political pictures. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenIt reminded me of the old Smothers Brothers routine about sibling rivalary. |
| Sin MagazineAustin KennedyJosh Brolin is phenomenal. He does more than just impersonate W, he embodies him, totally getting lost in the character. |
| Scene-Stealers.comEric MelinMore incendiary than people give it credit for...The fact that people see this as sympathetic is terrible, because [this] is not [all] it takes to run the free world. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesThis is a familiar and facile take on the president, attributing the Iraq war to his oedipal problems with H.W. and treating him alternately as an object of fun or pity. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldUltimately W. feels flat, despite the good work of the cast. |
