Rick is one of the Globe and Mail's movie critics. The full review is here

A damming exerpt of dubya reads:

" Then, as the credits finally roll, George W. and his major players ? Rumsfeld, Rice, Cheney ? are seen in silent close-up before the TV cameras, their make-up being applied, their façades polished. Suddenly, the screen goes black and the silence is broken by the sounds of 9/11 ? no picture, just the screams, the tragic din. Now comes the kicker. A quick return back to Bush himself on that fateful morning, at a photo-op in an elementary school, sitting on a small chair at the head of the class. An aide arrives to inform him of the strike on the first tower, then on the second, and he simply continues to sit, his face the same blank stare.

The camera watches as the minutes tick by ? seven long minutes and still no reaction. The point is made with savage brilliance: Briefly left unattended, with no one to pull his strings, the dummy is inert and vacuous."
