Saw it at the cinema on Saturday. Very enjoyable!
Very surprised at how little I know about the US, I've always been caught up in 20th century Europe.
I can't say surely an Oscar for Bale, I've seen no other movies, but he deserves one.

George W. Bush was smarter than they made him seem. About halfway through his administration (circa 2006 or so) Cheney and his cronies were effectively sacked from the administration which they didn't touch on. Bush wasn't blameless.
But it was very well acted. Have you seen the director's other film, the Big Short? It's about the 2008 economic meltdown.... it's a great film.

Very good film. Hilarious in places although I found I was the only getting some of the jokes some of the time, extremely depressing and disturbing in other places. Loved the fake end and the Shakespeare scene and the restaurant scene had me in stitches. The bit about the puppet show in the rose garden, though!!! This reminded me of Oliver Stone's 'W' (for obvious reasons), but this is better.
