The Critic
The reimagining of Anthony Quinn’s novel ‘Curtain Call’ set in a London of 1934 and centred on Jimmy Erskine (Ian McKellen), the Daily Chronicle’s most famous theatre critic of the age.
He clashes with David Brooke (Mark Strong), whom has recently inherited the paper; and a young actress, Nina Land (Gemma Arterton), who is devastated by Jimmy’s recent negative review of her. As the three become entangled in a whodunnit wrapped in a Faustian pact, their strange triangle winds tighter and tighter to devastating effect for all those caught in the deadly web of blackmail and betrayal.
