The Critic

The Critic (1140 x 400 px).png

Ambition Seduces. Power Corrupts.

The reimagining of Anthony Quinn’s novel ‘Curtain Call’ centres on Jimmy Erskine (McKellen), the Daily Chronicle’s most famous and featured theatre critic of the age; David Brooke (Strong), with whom Jimmy clashes after David inherits the paper; and a young actress, Nina Land (Arterton), who is devastated by Jimmy’s recent negative review of her. As the three become entangled in a whodunnit wrapped in a Faustian pact, their strange triangle winds tighter and tighter to devastating effect for all those caught in the deadly web of blackmail and betrayal.
