Nice period piece with a rock solid performance from Christian McKay as the bigger than life Welles. The core of the movie is seen from the eyes of Lucious Samuels (Zac Efron in a nice performance, better than I expected). He plays a high schooler who is plucked out his ordinary existence and thrust in the adult world of broadway. Although I have never been that fond of the theater arts this definitely held my interest for the story was interesting and seeing McKay as Welles was an amazing treat. I'm not kidding when you should see this movie for the one reason of seeing McKay play this guy. One of the better performances of the year in my opinion. I'd give his portrayal of the character 5 stars but his performance far outshines anything or anybody else in the movie.
