Great performance from Christian McKay
By McClennan (424 reviews) from St Helens , 07 Dec 2009[Highly rated reviewer]
First off, I am a huge fan of Linklater’s work so any review I do about his work has to be read in that context. So I’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 Welles’ 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.- Was this review helpful to you?

(68)Good film of a great stage performance
By a customer , 15 Jun 2013Good entertainment all round. Simple and compelling story - the show must go on! Great performances from the leads. If the real Orson Wells was half as good as the film made out, then this would have been one of the most spectacular and shocking (for the time) productions ever!- Was this review helpful to you?

Save your money
By notyou (16 reviews) , 19 Apr 2013Ther are not many films that I cannot watch till the end, but this is one of them, probably the most boring 'luvvey' film around. I have give it half a star as you cannot give it less.- Was this review helpful to you?

A bit dreary
By LamiasMa (24 reviews) from Wigan , 24 Jul 2012Couldnt give this the attention it may have deserved, but I kept losing it...attention not the plot. Some nice eye candy for the the teenage girls but otherwise a bit vague and watery.- Was this review helpful to you?

Lack of plot and not engaging to watch.
By moonflower6 (20 reviews) , 27 Jun 2012Disappointing lack of plot
I found this movie disappointing and there is a lack of plot Christian McKay gives a great performance as does Claire Danes and Zac Efron. It does give you a glimpse into Orson Welles life which is interesting and there are some good actors and actresses in the movie which makes it enjoyable to watch but I did find some parts of the movie boring.
I wouldn't recommend this movie you will be disappointed.- Was this review helpful to you?
