As a fascinating study of alleged corruption and unchecked ambition, Bush's Brain is anything but balanced,
but it's an important film that invites viewers to draw their own conclusions.
That says it all.

A
late bloomer among the rich harvest of political documentaries released in
2004, Bush's Brain is potently
revealing yet maddeningly pedestrian in
its attack on Karl Rove, the powerful presidential advisor nicknamed
"Bush's Brain" for serving in effect as co-president in
the George W. Bush administration. Slapped
together for the sake of an expedient pre-election release, the
film makes a convincing case (while
offering no tangible proof)
that Rove conducts ruthlessly effective Republican campaigns on the belief that "the ends justify the means."
Based on the book by James C. Moore
and James Slater (both featured prominently in abundant talking-head
interviews), the film lacks the coherent structure that would've made it truly
effective, assumes considerable
foreknowledge on the part of the viewer, and regrettably includes
a tear-jerking, non sequitur digression about the grieving family of a beloved
Marine who was killed in Iraq. But the film's shattering allegations and
heartbreaking testimonies suggest, in no uncertain terms, that Rove is pulling
the Presidential strings, remaining virtually untouchable while winning
elections by any means necessary. As a fascinating study of alleged corruption and unchecked ambition, Bush's Brain is anything but balanced,
but it's an important film that invites viewers to draw their own conclusions. --Jeff Shannon
