At The Movies: Me & Orson Welles
Starring: Zac Efron, Claire Danes, Ben Chaplin, Eddie Marsan, Christian McKay
Director: Richard Linklater
Plot: A teenager is cast in the Mercury Theatre production of “Julius Caesar” directed by a young Orson Welles in 1937.
Zac Efron shows that he has range beyond teen movies in this sophisticated theatrical drama.
Claire Danes is also delightful as his love interest Sonja, while Christian McKay steals the show doing a great impression of real-life legend Orson Welles.
It’s interesting to see the hold Welles has over his fellow performers -- especially the women, who fall at his feet, much to Richard’s annoyance.
Verdict: Great performances keep this slow-moving drama afloat. Zac Efron looks as lovely as ever and proves himself in a more grown-up role.
Date Movie: Not really, but maybe as it’s kinda dull which means your date will get bored and their mind may wander… to you.
Release Date: 4 December 2009 (UK)
