Meet the cast of The Christophers

"The Christophers" is a comedy that incorporates typical elements of the genre such as witty dialogue, situational humor, and character-driven comedy centered around a quirky family dynamic. The narrative revolves around the estranged children of a once-famous artist who hire a forger to complete their father's unfinished artworks, leading to humorous situations related to deception, family conflicts, and the art world's eccentricities. What makes "The Christophers" stand out from other comedies is its unique blend of art world satire and dark humor, combined with strong performances by Ian McKellen and James Corden that bring depth and charm to the complex sibling relationship. This juxtaposition of a serious theme—art forgery and posthumous fame—with comedic elements offers a fresh take on family comedy, making it both insightful and entertaining.

Critics' Reviews

This is a film which benefits from three elements. There’s Soderbergh’s careful, sly, unshowy direction, which keeps things compelling. There’s the delicious original script by Ed Solomon (Bill & Ted and Men In Black), full of poison-tongued dialogue and rug-pulling turns. And there are sublime performances from its leads, Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel, both absolutely at the top of their game.
