Me and Orson Welles
Dir: Richard Linklater
2008
***
Me and Orson Welles is a great example of one person's performance making the film. I really enjoyed the film, the late 30's style looked great - although I think Richard Linklater could have done better visually and the supporting cast did okay with what they had (Claire Danes good, Eddie Marsan underused again, Ben Chaplin overlooked once more). It is Christian McKay's portrayal of Orson Welles that really makes the film, without him I wonder how good it would have been. It did make me wish I had a time machine so I could go back to New York of 1937 and see the show.
