Review of Me and Orson Welles (2008) by Josh G — 24 Oct 2010

I wasn't crazy about this in the beginning, but it really turned into a great movie. I'm not a big Orson Wells fan, but this really humanizes him and makes the story very real. Zac Efron does a great job playing a truly genuine and decent person, it takes very little time for you to sympathize with him.

The structure of the movie works well, you get to see a very accurate depiction of what it's like behind the scenes of a play. There is a really good lesson in this about acting and just life in general, sometimes you give it your all and it just doesn't work out in the end.

However, that doesn't mean life is over.
