Reel Alternatives Huntsville Presents
THE CHRISTOPHERS
Monday, September 28, 2026 - 7pm
Sponsored by:
The great Ian McKellen and I May Destroy You’s Michaela Coel make a brilliant pairing in Oscar winner Steven Soderbergh’s incisively witty chamber comedy about art, commerce, and avarice.
Lori, a struggling art restorer (Michaela Coel), is recruited by the estranged heirs of famed painter Julian Sklar (Ian McKellen) to recover and secretly complete his unfinished works for profit after his death. Posing as Sklar’s assistant, Lori becomes entangled in a scheme marked by deception and shifting loyalties.
McKellen’s embodiment of the crotchety, self-absorbed, has-been art star is a masterclass in go-for-broke brilliance, but it’s Coel as the reluctant forger who steals the show. Together, they drive a clever, character-focused story about ambition, authenticity, and the murky ethics of artistic legacy.
Director: Steven Soderbergh
United Kingdom | English | 2025 | 100 minutes
Featuring: Michaela Coel, Ian McKellen, Jessica Gunning, James Corden
Distributor: Elevation Pictures
