WALTZING WITH BRANDO follows Brando (Billy Zane) -- then the most famous actor in the world -- as he filmed Mutiny on the Bounty and bought a tiny and uninhabitable island in Tahiti. His intent was to escape his hectic Hollywood lifestyle and show the world the path to sustainability. To achieve this goal, he plucks Judge (Jon Heder), an obscure but idealistic Los Angeles architect, from his stable existence and convinces him that together they could build the world's first truly sustainable ecological retreat.

Democracy at Work (Substack)

Like a jaunty waltz, the movie’s tone is light and breezy, happily bouncing between plot points with lengthy pauses to explore the ideas and personalities that animated Brando’s ambitious project.

Rated: 3.5/4

Next Best Picture

As fine an actor as each man is, there’s relatively little natural chemistry between Zane and Heder, so the bond we are told the characters have is difficult to fully believe.

Rated: 4/10
