'W.' is neither coruscating nor edifying - but without the benefit of hindsight, it's probably the best we can hope for.

W. feels poorly timed: too late to have any effect on the public, most of whom long ago checked out on the President, and too early to provide more than a schematic interpretation of who he is.

Perhaps Stone believed that the only way you can make sense of the George W. Bush debacle is by presenting it as a goof -- a Freudian cartoon. But if that's the case, he erred on the side of caution.

It has its moments, one of the finest at the conclusion.
