Review of Me and Orson Welles (2008) by Pat M — 07 Dec 2009

First off, I am a huge fan of Linklaterâ??s work so any review I do about his work has to be read in that context. So Iâ??m going to start by saying that I thought this was a lovely little film, rich in dialogue and acting whilst landing you perfectly in the chaos that must have surrounded Wellesâ?? production of Julius Caesar.

Christian McKay is magnificent as Welles, capturing his vocals and style with an often hilarious accuracy and although Zac Efron carries the story and emotions reasonably well it is McKay's Welles for which you should see the film.

It's been tagged as a feel-good film and I must admit when the opening night performance comes it had me wishing I could have been there. Wonderful stuff.
