Review of W. (2008) by Dwilly — 19 Oct 2008
The basic filmmaking is strong enough, I suppose, but, without vituousity, the straight telling of how this small person damaged so many people just made me slump in my seat getting more and more depressed.
Maybe Oliver Stone thought because Josh Brolin also has a famous father he could dig in and give a performance, but he's such an exceedingly modest actor the whole thing comes off as if made for TV.
Thandie Newton is the only one who does an impersonation, and while it's broad, I'd rather see the movie she belongs in rather than this pointless exercise.
