The Christophers
“A sparkling, funny, wise movie about two painters, both of whom consider themselves failures. I have rarely enjoyed watching two actors’ rapport the way I loved watching McKellen and Coel; it could have gone on forever and not been long enough.
” – Alissa Wilkinson, The New York Times
Julian Sklar (Ian McKellen) was once a star of London’s 1960’s and 70’s pop art explosion, but he hasn’t painted in decades and has been broke for years. His two estranged children (James Corden, Jessica Gunning), desperate for an inheritance, hire Lori (Michaela Coel), an art restorer and former forger, to pose as a prospective assistant in order to access 8 unfinished canvases, The Christophers, 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.
MUST END Thursday, May 21!
