3.5/4
The Christophers is a charming and challenging tennis match between two opposing acting styles, one of them confident with the certainty of youth and the other with the mastery of old age. Go to Full Review Chase Hutchinson TheWrap Sep 21
In the end, this film about artists becomes a work of art in its own right. The more you look at it, the more its many components reveal themselves to you. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Sep 11
What works best about 'The Christophers' is embedded in the performances and characters played by McKellen and Coel, coming at each other with entirely different temperatures. Go to Full Review Cameron Meier MeierMovies.com 1d
3.25/5
A study in contrasts, the chamber piece is lighthearted but deep, simple but multi-layered, overstated and under-performed, with lots to say about the value of one’s life work. Go to Full Review Doug Jamieson The Jam Report Oct 25
3/5
The film is confined, conversational, and intellectual, yet occasionally too restrained for its own good. Go to Full Review Joonatan Itkonen Region Free Oct 2
4/5
The Christophers is a finely tuned, often impeccably acted, and thoroughly compelling chamber piece that works like intellectual comfort food. It's a delight to spend time with. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
