The Critic (15)

The Critic is a riveting drama-thriller that dives deep into the murky waters of ambition, blackmail, and moral compromise. Sir Ian McKellen stars as Jimmy Erskine, a once-powerful theater critic whose career is jeopardized when his newspaper’s ownership changes hands. The new owner, David Brooke (Mark Strong), embodies a more conservative stance, leading to Erskine’s dismissal after a scathing review of actress Nina Land (Gemma Arterton).
