The Christophers

Category: Film

Her plan is to complete them, then return them to storage, where they are to be “discovered” upon Julian’s death.

Winner: Audience award, Sonoma International Film Festival

In a six-decade career spanning Shakespeare, Stephen King, Marvel, and Gandalf, this may be the best work of McKellen’s career. No slouch herself, Coel meets his every acting challenge and issues one of her own. Odie Henderson/Boston Globe

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. David Fear/Rolling Stone

A film that could have settled for being a masterclass in technique, but instead goes deeper, exploring questions of artistry, authorship, legacy. Bob Mondello/NPR
