Review of W. (2008) by Arnoldp. — 19 Oct 2008
This much anticipated film fell flat. The actors were excellent, the father son relationship compelling. Considering the story there was little fire in the direction, at times dull, surely predictable.
I think if Stone had only done W up to him being elected president it would have been infinitely better. The events of his presidency and the characters much too current to appear any more vivid or scary than they were in real life.
Seeing it opening night in Hollywood, in a packed audience, there was the sound of only one pair of hands clapping at the end. A somber sign in tinsel town.
