"Soderbergh has become such a prolific, tirelessly resourceful, and altogether uncategorizable filmmaker that you have to wonder why the mechanics of the break-in still inspire him."
"The home here is a ramshackle London town house where a famed painter, Julian Sklar, is spending his final years in a haze of creative stagnation and lingering renown."
"Lori's true mission is to locate eight unfinished canvases-part of a celebrated series of portraits of Christ, which adds layers to the narrative."
In 'The Christophers,' Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel portray a painter and an art restorer, respectively. The film explores themes of deception and artistic stagnation. Set in a dilapidated London townhouse, the story unfolds as Lori Butler, the art restorer, is hired by Julian Sklar's children to assist him. However, her true objective is to uncover eight unfinished canvases. Soderbergh's direction showcases his innovative approach to genre and storytelling, continuing his exploration of home invasion narratives with fresh perspectives.
