If only the timeline were in chronological order... I see why it's not, but I think I would have preferred if it were. You can definitely sense Stone's direction, although it's a lot more character-driven than his other, more investigative projects. I'd also say it takes more of an unbiased view, as certain prolific events are hinted at and teased but never delved into. That's not to say certain facts aren't dropped like bombs. Decades upon decades later, America is still leading the globe with its problems, and Stone tells it straight. Great cast, great acting, great soundtrack, great dialogue, and great cinematography. It's a 'W' all around.

_W._ gives an interesting and insightful look into some of the key moments of President Bush's life. The film explores his upbringing, his presidency, and his legacy, providing a nuanced and humanizing portrayal of a complex political figure. Josh Brolin delivers a good performance as Bush, capturing his mannerisms and speech patterns with impressive accuracy. While the film doesn't shy away from the controversies of Bush's presidency, it presents a balanced and empathetic view of the man behind the politics.

Quite good. Doesn't drag.

A fairly interesting look into who Dubya was as a person. As a biopic, it's a little jarring with the random intercutting of the flashbacks...
