"Oliver Stone's take on Bush could be spot-on, or it could just be armchair analysis. All I know is that I was heavily involved in his vision. This is great, ambitious filmmaking from a director who is not afraid to delve inside his subjects."

"This one pokes some fun at the conventions of the musical biopic genre instead of just replicating famous scenes from other films, and that's a much more satisfying way to go because it actually has a perspective on the topic."
