In the newest film from director Steven Soderbergh (Erin Brockovich, Black Bag), painter Julian Sklar (Ian McKellen; The Lord of the Rings), once a star of London’s 1960’s and 70’s pop art explosion, hasn’t painted in decades and has been broke for years. His two estranged children, desperate for an inheritance, hire Lori (Michaela Coel; I May Destroy You), an art restorer and former forger, to pose as a prospective assistant in order to access eight unfinished canvases Julian has buried deep in storage. Her plan is to complete them, then return them to storage, where they are to be “discovered” upon Julian’s death. This incisively witty chamber comedy about art, commerce, and the perennial tension between the two was a highlight at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival, where it had its world premiere.

"What works best about The Christophers is embedded in the performances and characters played by McKellen and Coel, coming at each other with entirely different temperatures."
"It’s another exhilarating late career opportunity for McKellen to really bare teeth, following on from The Good Liar and The Critic, but this time he has a script that’s actually able to match him."
