Review of Me and Orson Welles (2008) by Angela E — 12 Nov 2009
Richard Linklater weaves a play-within-a-movie narrative with his signature dialogue-driven flow to create this period piece that captures not just the ambience of its 30s setting, but also the smart yet uncynical flavor of classic films of the day.
Zac Efron is perfectly cast as the bold kid who talks his way into the Mercury Theatre, while Christian McKay hits a resounding note as Orson Welles, blending ego and flair with a softening glimpse into what lies beneath.
