RKO 281 gives a great account of the times, and the way that Hollywood worked in the 30s and 40s. While the details of the demise of Randolf Hearst may be a bit off and some details about Hollywood, the film covers the way things worked and how powers interacted pretty well. My family was very close to the Hearst family and I know more details about the demise of the Hearsts than I'll ever tell. I can say the film got the important parts correct, without delving into the animosity between Hearst and the State of California. Liev Schrieber doesn't look like Orson Welles - but so what? That is irrelevant. He captures the arrogance of Welles very well. It's a slow film by today's standards, but that gives you time to take in the theme, and the moral ambiguity, and think while you're watching.

Compelling and riveting. A great story about the greatest film ever made.

Rarely will I bother with a movie about the making of anything, but Citizen Kane? I had to check this out.Liev Schreiber gives an amazing performance as Welles. He doesn't need to do anything else to earn my respect as an actor. Be warned: If you aren't a huge cinema nerd and familiar with the story it can be a bit rough, but A great film nevertheless.

A film about the "Boy Genius" of American cinema, Orson Welles, and the making of his masterpiece, which is considered the Greatest American Film of All-Time.
