NYT: Manohla Dargis Reviews Oliver Stone’s “W.”

Ratings

What’s this?

“It says nothing new or insightful about the president, his triumphs and calamities. (As if anyone goes to an Oliver Stone movie for a reality check.) But it does something most journalism and even documentaries can’t or won’t do: it reminds us what a long, strange trip it’s been to the Bush White House.” On a side note, it’s amusing to me that, with this movie, the Brolin family has now cornered the market for liberal actors playing Republican presidents.
