The Critic

M Violence, offensive language & suicide

The reimagining of Anthony Quinn’s novel Curtain Call centre on Jimmy Erskine (McKellen), the Daily Chronicle’s most famous and featured theatre critic of the age; David Brooke (Strong), with whom he clashes after recently inheriting 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.
