The Christophers (2025)

Select a DateBrowning Cinema New at the Browning Directed by Steven Soderbergh With Ian McKellen, Michaela Coel, James Corden Rated R, 100 minutes, DCP Steven Soderbergh and Ian McKellen, two guys with zillions of credits to their filmographies, team up with the brilliant but lesser seen Miachaela Coel (I May Destroy You, Chewing Gum) in this lively black comedy. A mainstay of the London art scene since his starry breakout in the creative explosion of the 1960's, Julian Sklar (McKellen) has drifted into a cluttered, self-imposed seclusion. His two estranged children (James Corden, Jessica Gunning) enlist Lori (Coel) , a young painter and sometime-forger, to pose as a prospective assistant and gain access to a fabled series of unfinished canvases Julian has buried deep in his home studio, in a deceptive bid to secure an inheritance for themselves.
