"Sklar's indefatigable, but his cachet has waned. Where his early paintings now sell for millions, he can barely give his more recent work away."
"As pictured by Soderbergh and writer Ed Solomon, the two are oil-and-watercolor, as it were, each playing by different rules."
"I've no problem with questions, Lori, it's the answers I can't be bothered with."
"Happily, Soderbergh and company can be bothered, and the answers The Christophers provides are as artful as anyone might wish."
The Christophers, directed by Steven Soderbergh, delves into the complexities of artistic legacy. The story follows Sklar, an aging artist whose recent works are undervalued, and his opportunistic children who enlist art restorer Lori Butler to forge new pieces. The dynamic between Sklar, portrayed by Ian McKellen, and Lori, played by Michaela Coel, highlights contrasting approaches to art and legacy. Soderbergh's direction emphasizes character interaction over flashy techniques, leading to a deeper exploration of artistry and authorship.
