All credit to writer-director Oliver Parker for trying to broaden his CV, but Danny Huston is a terrible bore as Welles, Paz Vega continues to be incomprehensible in English, and the murky mystery plot limps along unrewardingly. Full Review |

On paper this must have looked a neat idea: a wildly fictionalised account of a skid-row Orson Welles, up to his neck in political skulduggery while shooting a third-rate picture in post-war Italy. Full Review |

2/5 |
A retro pastiche that, like The Good German before it, will be of limited interest to all but the most ardent film buff. Full Review |

2/5 |
Like Black Magic itself, alas, this is destined to be a forgotten curio of limited appeal. Full Review |

 3/6 |
For all its flaws, it’s a movie-lover’s movie, and clear evidence that Parker should push himself a bit more often. Full Review |

Fade to Black is as sleek and attractive as the chrome polished vintage cars Huston travels in, but never truly gets in gear. Full Review |

A terrific idea is unfortunately wasted. The great cast is wasted too. Full Review |
