THE CHRISTOPHERS. In Cinemas Friday across UK & Ireland
"Never underestimate the internet prowess of a man who spent decades googling himself"
Ian McKellen stars in THE CHRISTOPHERS, in UK & Irish cinemas this Friday.
"McKellen is genuinely superb, shambling around the house with elderly bluster yet delivering broadsides with the precision of a master draughtsman. He is cantankerous, yet also sad and wistful, finding many shades of a man being forced to take stock towards the end of his life, confronted with disappointments and regrets." John Nugent Empire /movies/reviews/the-christophers/ THE CHRISTOPHERS. THIS FRIDAY IN CINEMAS ACROSS UK & IRELAND
🎬 💫 One week until THE CHRISTOPHERS comes to UK & Irish cinemas!
Funny, stylish, and irresistibly sharp, Steven Soderbergh’s latest stars Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel in a must-see new comedy unlike anything you’ve seen before.
