Posted 4 weeks ago in Film

Cirillo’s

“When the most feared and vicious theatre critic in town Jimmy Erskine (McKellen), finds himself suddenly in the crosshairs of the Daily Chronicle’s new owner David Brooke (Strong), he strikes a sinister Faustian pact with struggling actress Nina Land (Arterton) who is desperate to win his favour.”

A new feature with Sir Ian McKellen (Extras) and Gemma Arerton (Kingsman, Quantum of Solace) based on Anthony Quinn’s novel ‘Curtain Call’,  The Critic is a delectably dark and cuttings thriller set in 1930s London ‘theatreland’ with a great cast in  Mark Strong, Ben Barnes, Alfred Enoch, Romola Garai and Lesley Manville.

On release in cinemas from Friday September 13th.
