The Christophers Review

Steven Soderbergh returns with The Christophers, an art-world dark comedy starring Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel in a duel of wits neither actor backs down from. McKellen plays an aging, once-celebrated painter; Coel plays the forger his estranged children hire to secretly complete his unfinished works. Joshua Hunter breaks down why some critics are calling this Soderbergh's most emotionally resonant film in years, digs into the electric chemistry between McKellen and Coel, and gives his honest verdict on whether this two-hander lives up to the hype. 🍍 The Reel Pineapple is your one-stop shop for honest movie reviews, trailer breakdowns, and unfiltered film talk — no hype, no gatekeeping, just real takes from someone who actually loves this stuff. 📺 Subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/thereelpineapple 🦋 Follow on BlueSky: reelpineapple.bsky.social 🎥 Follow on TikTok & Instagram: @jhunterreelpineapple 🎬 Follow on Letterboxd: BlackShazam 🎮 Catch me live on Twitch: twitch.tv/thereelpineapple ⭐ Love the show?
