There's plenty of cineaste joy to be had from stills and footage of the artist and his films...including bits from Welles' countless unfinished projects...

Rating: 2/5 -- [Magician] has an inelegant, cobbled-together feel that doesn't do justice to its subject. Full Review

Solid, straightforward but immaculately researched, Chuck Workmans documentary is a fitting tribute to the maverick Welles. If he were alive today, hed surely raise a glass. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/5 -- Magician certainly makes you want to watch all of Welles's films again, including the ones that we can't, which means it probably accomplishes its goals. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- This film makes a valuable and stimulating case for brilliant Welles movies such as Chimes at Midnight and The Trial. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- What Workman has assembled is the kind of film Welles would have been happy to part of. It's a unique, warm and fair portrait of a man who was both genius and joke and well aware of it. Full Review

I'm sad to report that at a mere 1 hour and 34 minutes Magician is rushed and sometimes choppy, leaping through Welles's bountiful life. Full Review

Product Description:

Chuck Workman's documentary MAGICIAN: THE ASTOUNDING LIFE AND WORK OF ORSON WELLES surveys the influential career of the celebrated superstar by including clips from just about all of his movies. The filmmakers also reveal how he became one of the biggest stars in the world before the age of 25, battled his entire career to raise money to make movies the way he wanted to, and lived an outsized life until his death in 1985.
