Too little, too late: Brolin's impersonation of Bush is solid in Stone's quite entertaining melodrama, but as biopic, it's partial, conventional and imbued with blatant Freudian psychology that sees his life entirely as a series of father-son conflicts

What's most interesting about W. is that the bits cut from whole cloth are those that offer the film's titular "protagonist" the benefit of the doubt.
10/08/08
The film is unable to achieve any aims higher than as a sort of engaging pop-history pageant and amateur, if not inapt, psychological evaluation, due to the unavoidable lack of perspective and a final act that has yet to be written.

Top Critic It deserves a fair hearing by U.S. audiences, for Stone goes out of his way to give Bush a fair hearing.
