“When the most feared and vicious theatre critic in town Jimmy Erskine (McKellen), finds himself suddenly in the crosshairs of the Daily Chronicle’s new owner David Brooke (Strong), he strikes a sinister Faustian pact with struggling actress Nina Land (Arterton) who is desperate to win his favour.”
A new feature with Sir Ian McKellen (Extras) and Gemma Arerton (Kingsman, Quantum of Solace) based on Anthony Quinn’s novel ‘Curtain Call’, The Critic is a delectably dark and cuttings thriller set in 1930s London ‘theatreland’ with a great cast in Mark Strong, Ben Barnes, Alfred Enoch, Romola Garai and Lesley Manville.
On release in cinemas from Friday September 13th.
