W.

Title: W.
Year: 2008
Director: Oliver Stone
Writer: Stanley Weiser
Starring: Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Banks, James Cromwell, Ellen Burstyn, Richard Dreyfuss
Music: Paul Cantelon (but mostly non-original music)
Synopsis: Bush's political career
Length: 129 minutes
How I saw it: on video (rented from Netflix), yesterday
Subjective Rating: 4/10 (Eh).
Objective Rating: 4/10 (gets points for concept, cinematography, special effects/design and acting) c. 2.0/4 (Indifferent).

Tedious. I have no idea what the point of this was supposed to be. There's none of the depth you'd expect from a biopic, and none of the humor you'd expect from a satire.
