Yeah yeah, "magic of the theater" and all that. Too much "Me" and not enough "Orson Welles". No offence to Zac Efron (look, I spelled his name right, there's no k in Zac), but.....yeah ok, a little bit of offence to Zac Efron. Not because ofYeah yeah, "magic of the theater" and all that.

A very entertaining movie, but not a great one. How I would have loved to have seen Welles's production of Caesar, however!

Watch this movie just for Christian MacKay, who plays a demented Orson Welles that will shock you.

Once again Linklater proves that he can direct anything. This film is charming and entertaining. It works as a period piece, a biopic of orson welles and a coming of age story as well as a drama.

If they had cast a better actor in his part this film would have been a lot better.… Expand
