Review of Me and Orson Welles (2008)

By Elliott Noble (448) for Sky Cinema (1,726) on 04 Dec 2009

A thoroughly enjoyable wheeze, bobbing along to a jaunty score (cue Jools Holland cameo) and blessed with moments of knowing wit…

Review of Me and Orson Welles (2008)

By Philip Kemp (186) for Total Film (3,532) on 04 Dec 2009

By Chris Roberts (16) for Uncut Magazine [UK] (201) on 04 Dec 2009

Review of Me and Orson Welles (2008)

By Adam Smith (163) for Radio Times (2,421) on 04 Dec 2009

By Christopher Tookey (761) for Daily Mail (UK) (1,461) on 04 Dec 2009

Zac Efron proves again that he's more than a pretty face in this period charmer, but the performance you'll remember to the end of your days…

Review of Me and Orson Welles (2008)

By Jeremy Mccarter (1) for Newsweek (1,534) on 04 Dec 2009

Review of Me and Orson Welles (2008)

By Anthony Quinn (478) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 04 Dec 2009

By Allan Hunter (1,486) for Daily Express (UK) (2,141) on 04 Dec 2009

Zac Efron may be the bait that tempts you to see this tale of theatre life and moral dilemma but is it Christian McKay's amazing Welles that…
