The Critic Review: Ian McKellen’s Masterful Portrayal of a 1930s London Theatre Scandal
The Critic, directed by Anand Tucker and adapted from Anthony Quinn’s novel Curtain Call by screenwriter Patrick Marber, a portrayal of London’s theatre scene in the 1930s through the lens of a sharp-tongued, morally ambiguous theatre critic. Ian McKellen stars as Jimmy Erskine, a character whose unsavory nature propels the film’s narrative.
