Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh (TRAFFIC, ERIN BROCKOVICH) capably directs this black comedy featuring Ian McKellan and Micaela Cole in a sly, two-hander character study. Desperate for an inheritance, two siblings conspire to forge their father’s unfinished paintings so they become valuable after his death. With Jessica Gunning, James Corden.

“Had ‘The Christophers’ just been a cross-generational punch-up, the sort of flinty showdown designed to throw off pleasurable sparks, you’d still walk away content. It remains a conduit for two of the best performances you’ll see all year. “ (Rolling Stone Magazine)

“A film that could have settled for being a masterclass in technique, but instead goes deeper, exploring questions of artistry, authorship, legacy.” (NPR)

“Go see this with somebody who likes to linger in the lobby afterward and chew over a movie. ‘The Christophers’ delivers a full meal.” (Austin Chronicle)

“‘The Christophers’ finds director Steven Soderbergh continuing his insatiable journey of cinematic exploration, and seemingly having the time of his life.” (Globe and Mail)

“A sly caper carried off with director Steven Soderbergh’s characteristic panache, ‘The Christophers’ is a superb two-hander featuring Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel at their very best.” (Rotten Tomatoes)
