| | Editorial reviews | "Brolin is clearly party leader -- nailing Bush's posture and gestures without stooping to easy mannerism, conveying the contradictions of a polarizing president with real generosity..."
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (10/24/2008)
"The performances are good (some scarily realistic), and the movie is enjoyable....W. is absorbing and amusing to ruminate over."
USA Today - Claudia Puig (10/17/2008)
"W. is not a dispassionate biography; it is an interpretation of personality intersecting with history, and as a piece of drama it is persuasive and perfectly creditable."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (10/17/2008)
"[I]t does something most journalism and even documentaries can't or won't do: it reminds us what a long strange trip it's been to the Bush White House."
New York Times - Manohla Dargis (10/17/2008)
3 stars out of 5 -- "Josh Brolin excels, bristling with energy....Brolin does an excellent job inhabiting without impersonating..."
Total Film - Tony Horkins (12/01/2008)
"Brolin and Cromwell go at it with vigor, giving the film the psychological resonance it needs."
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (11/30/2008)
