Magician: The Astonishing Life and Work of Orson Welles packs in about as much as possible into 90 minutes on the larger than life, multi-talented, vain, mysterious, ingenious virtuoso, but feels rushed and even confused as a result, while glossing over the bullet points of his life. A little fleshing out would have been helpful, although the documentary does put great footage and guests to use, and it is always a privilege to be in the company of the Boy Wonder.
