Showings

The estranged children of a once-famous artist hire a forger to complete his unfinished works so they can be “discovered” and sold after his death.

Had The Christophers just been a cross-generational punch-up, the sort of flinty showdown designed to throw off pleasurable sparks, you’d still walk away content. It remains a conduit for two of the best performances you’ll see all year.

At a time when any good news is welcome, Steven Soderbergh has reminded us that, yes, old-school artistry is still valued and viable.

One of the best movies of the year
