Steven Soderbergh pits Ian McKellen against Michaela Coel in a dark comedy about art, criticism and forgery. Julian Sklar (McKellen) was once a star of London’s 1960’s and 70’s pop art explosion, but he hasn’t painted in decades and has been broke for years.
Desperate for an inheritance, his two estranged children hire Lori, an art restorer and former forger (Coel), to pose as a prospective assistant in order to access unfinished canvases ('The Christophers') Julian has buried deep in storage. What could possibly go wrong?
What is the value of art? Does it reside in personal expression? Cultural longevity? Financial worth? These questions fuel Steven Soderbergh’s gloriously entertaining romp.
