Waltzing with Brando Reviews
It feels like a bad sitcom.
Zane is excellent, but it’s just a shame that the movie tells one of the least interesting possible stories about his life.
Waltzing With Brando is an offer you absolutely should refuse.
This waltz is all left feet.
Billy Zane’s bravura performance as Brando deserved better; it deserved a top-notch vehicle—probably a drama.
Zane is completely locked in as Brando, and I think what he captures is how much Brando didn’t seem to revere his own position as an actor.
This is a film you can easily waltz past.
The re-creations here are virtually indistinguishable from the real footage. Fishman's production could honestly be confused for documentary footage... whatever the makeup and hair department did only made things that much more flawless.
This offbeat film—which is well-intentioned but tonally confusing—is still worth watching for Zane's performance as Brando.
Waltzing with Brando is never going to be mistaken as the quality of the films we associate with the height of Marlon Brando’s career, but it is a far cry from the low points in his filmography.
An indulgent and uneven tale of paradise, ambition, and friendship, the film is just quirky enough to work. Billy Zane is the standout here, as he fully embodies Brando in a dead ringer of a performance.
If that’s what it took to give us Billy Zane as Marlon Brando, it’s probably worth it...but it helps to be a big fan of both.
Billy Zane's uncanny resemblance to a 40-something Marlon Brando is put to intermittently amusing use in this breezy, if scattered, comedy.
This fractured movie has some amazing elements, but because it lacks rhythm, it requires that a moviegoer come to this viewing experience with a lot of generosity and grace that should not have been required.
Zane captures that restlessness with uncanny precision.
Waltzing with Brando never gives Zane the opportunity to go deeper, which makes for a forgettable film and a lost opportunity for what could have been the role of a lifetime.
An award-worthy best performance of Billy Zane’s career. Jon Heder steps outside the box and ups his game. A wonderful adaptation by Bill Fishman. Superb production values all around. A love letter to the "real" Marlon Brando.
Like Orson Welles, Fred Rogers and even Hervé Villechaize, Marlon Brando gets the secondary character treatment despite having the more compelling arc and dynamic personality played with spot-on definition by Billy Zane.
More than story, Waltzing focuses on star Billy Zane’s remarkable ability to pass as the film legend.
It's got enough charm and entertainment value to keep fans of Brando entertained and satisfied from start to finish. In short, Billy Zane makes Waltzing With Brando an offer that's hard to refuse.
