Me and Orson Welles



Last night I went to see Me and Orson Welles after dinner with my sister and her friends. I went in with absolutely no expectations because I really couldn't tell if I would love or hate the film, but I ended up loving it!
It was one of those movies that makes you want to move to New York City and dive head first into something exciting! But above and beyond all the cheesy real life inspiration it provided, miss Claire Danes' wardrobe was just about the best I've seen! It was perfectly in line with what's been inspiring me lately. 1930's collars and blouses and little short sleeved sweaters, and her hair!!!!! I still haven't really mastered the art of putting curlers in my hair, probably for lack of patience, but this movie makes me want to try.
I won't ramble on too long about it, but I think this movie is worth seeing simply for her wardrobe! I also ended up really liking the movie itself, but should some of you not be as into it, I'm sure those clothes won't disappoint!



As for Zac Efron, well despite being guilty of gossiping about how "cute" he is with my 12 year old Goddaughter, Lauren, I actually had my doubts about him playing this role, but he's really not so bad in it! And he looks sort of adorable in his scruffy 1930's pants and suspenders combo running around NYC with his ukulele...
I'll leave you with that, I don't want to say too much, but I definitely recommend seeing it, even if you wait for it to come out on DVD!

Before I'd even read what you wrote, I thought to myself, I need to pull out my hot rollers:) You're right, the costumes look wonderful.

I want to see this movie now. I was sort of on the fence about it so I am glad you posted a review. Considering I get to see movies for free, I dont get out much to go see them (too busy and the husband hates movie theaters). Maybe I can convince one of my friends to go see this! Otherwise, OnDemand it is.. :)

I must see this movie! I love Claire Danes (have been missing her for a while) and out of pure curiosity I must see Zach Efron in a movie where he is not jumping all over the place in neon clothing :) I also love seeing movies that make me feel excited to be living in NYC :)

Thank you for the photos! Claire Danes does look kind of perfect. Her pretty puff sleeve blouses and perfectly curled hair is lovely (even if I could never do it myself.) What a great inspiration!

I saw a preview for this movie last time I saw something in the theater and thought the wardrobe of Claire Danes and the other actors looked absolutely amazing. Sounds like the movie is worth seeing for more than just the gorgeous clothing though too :)

If it wasn't for Zac Efron I would be dying to see this film...as it is, I hope I can get over my dislike of him to see it!

Francy Jeanne said...

I have been avoiding this film due to the whole Zac Efron factor, but after seeing these photos, I will have to at least check out all of Claire's fabulous outfits! Love your blog!

What! Clare Danes and Zac Effron play a romantic couple? That is funny . . . I can never see him as a heartthrob because he's a little kid!
