This is an incomplete review for a film I just couldn't watch!
The narrator delivers lines as if he were talking to Welles. This isn't exactly what I had hoped for... I don't care about his opinion, I wanted to learn about the vision of Welles.
I simply couldn't watch the film after a few minutes... By the way, there's simply no reason to discuss Obama and Trump and "the rise of despots." Perhaps there's useful research here, but it's glossed over (Welle's sketches for example.)
The first 10 minutes are very difficult to watch, eventually we're introduced to items of historical interest from Welles' descendant.
I would pass on this one.
