This incisively witty chamber comedy from Oscar winner Steven Soderbergh ushers us into a tangled web of art, commerce, and long-brewing resentments. The Christophers is one of Soderbergh’s most delicious entertainments in years.

Having all but given up her own art practice, thirty something Lori, (Michaela Coel) divides her time between freelance art restoration and working the window of a food truck. Her fortunes promise to change, however, when she’s approached by the estranged heirs of renowned painter Julian Sklar (McKellen) with a tantalizing proposition: Lori is to apprehend a series of long-abandoned paintings from Sklar’s London home, complete the paintings using her masterful imitation skills, and receive a third of the profits from the sale of the paintings following the old man’s imminent death. Lori accepts the gig, infiltrating Sklar’s home under the pretense of becoming his new assistant, but the ruse quickly goes awry in a series of titillating twists and shifting allegiances.
