"... his socially and culturally relevant movies for our times."
I find him using the metaphors of what is considered socially and culturally relevant as ways to 'yank' the chain to feed his ego.
Some teenagers behave like that.
"Stone has a reporter's eye....."
...yes, yellow journalism reporter's eye.
"... and the good sense of a skilled movie maker (and writer) for when fictionalizing is called for."
I do agree technically he is proficient. I just don't care much for his 'chain yanking' just to feed his ego/vanity.
"Not quite as daring or artistic as Francis Ford Coppola,....."
Surely you must over-estimate Coppola. I find most of his movies real bores.
