Review of W. (2008) by Jami L — 27 Jun 2009
Oliver Stone is a class act and he has brought us some great presidential tales, like Nixon and JFK so why not add one more to the list.
I liked James Cromwell as George Bush Sr. In this and Josh Brolin was spot on and outstanding as W. I loved that Elizabeth Banks played Laura Bush. I just love her. I just wish there would have been more of her in the film.
The film focuses more on his tactics in office with the war, with a little history laced in. I do wish they would have focused more on George and Laura and their family, instead of making it so left wing. All in all I have to say it was a good film.
It's a long film, running 2 hours. I thought they could have taken the time to end it better, I really didn't care for that. But, I do think W. is worth the watch.
