Me and Orson Welles

Yet while this movie gets Welles right, and the communal joy of theater (Linklater has always been good at spotlighting outcast cultures), it gets some other things quite wrong.....The film contains strong language and sexual situations.....Welles loved characters, but like many geniuses, he wasn't terribly attuned to people;....He's not a perfect match, physically..... ...

Me and Orson Welles" cherishes ramshackle rehearsals and backstage banter.....Efron has an easy, natural presence on screen and his performance is effortless and confident.....But in "Me and Orson Welles," our view of the great, charismatic director and thespian isn't straight on, but a sideways glance..... ...

this movie, a fiction confected about real people, is too good not to be true.....They are supporting players in the grand drama of his personality.....Instead, "Me and Orson Welles," directed by Richard Linklater , with a screenplay (from Robert Kaplow's novel) by Holly Gent Palmo and Vince Palmo, pays tribute to youthful creative ambition where and whenever it may thrive.....And "Me and Orson Welles" shows him in similarly shaded light, illuminating both his talent and his caddishness..... ...

as a character in other people's novels, plays, and movies-notably Richard Linklater 's deft, affectionate, and unexpectedly enjoyable Me and Orson Welles .....Me and Orson Welles doesn't lack for vivid turns-including Danes's ambitious college girl, Eddie Marsan 's distracted John Houseman , James Tupper 's affable Joseph Cotten , and Ben Chaplin 's high-strung George Coulouris....For all of its virtues, Me and Orson is not perfect.....Burdened by an unnecessary subplot featuring Zoe Kazan 's aspiring writ ...

Awkward syntax aside, Me and Orson Welles would be a much better movie....This is not one of director Richard Linklater 's better films.....The movie is worth seeing for McKay....The story pertaining to Orson Welles (terrifically played by Christian McKay) is far more compelling than what happens to the young guy who gets unexpectedly swept up in Welles' brilliant circle..... ...
