A well-intentioned film that never really goes anywhere. We have Orson's historical staging of Julius Caesar which is interesting to watch. We have a solid performance from McKay as Welles himself, everyone else is your stereotypical actor that just wants to act.

A good effort but at the end doesn't really register.
