Me and Orson Welles

...the film weaves a conventional but nicely turned tale about a youth’s first steps in theatre...

Efron and Danes make an attractive couple, both young and bold, unswayed by Welles' greatness but knowingly allowing themselves to be used by it.

...belongs to that loveable show-biz subgenre about colorful kooks mounting a big production, but it’s strictly a one-man show.

His performance seems effortless, so commanding is it, careening from cocksure boy genius to bellowing, beleaguered director to ice-in-his-veins slayer of baby dragons...

McKay ikke blot ligner Welles, han ER Welles.

Precis som Orson Welles själv blir filmen om honom och en ung grabb med ambitioner aldrig förutsägbar.
