| Showings |
Ian McKellen (The Lord of the Rings) stars as a powerful London theatre critic who becomes entangled in a web of deceit and murder.
McKellen, who relishes another devious character to sink his teeth into, devouring every scene, a deliciously caustic turn that will provide him with nothing but the finest notices.
★★★
This is the Ian McKellen show and he makes Jimmy simultaneously despicable, understandable and wholly entertaining. When he gets ahold of this part, there’s nothing a critic can do but nod in approval.
★★★★
