W. Ratings & Reviews

  • chipperd.February 1, 2026
    All the actors did an outstanding job. Josh Brolin and Thandie Newton's acting and mannerisms of the actual persons were exceptionally superb. The Makeup Department should have won awards if they did not, because they did an exceptional job of making the actors look like the actual people they were portraying. On the other hand, I was slightly disappointed with the writing. At times, the storyline failed to deliver or was just flat.
