When is The Critic release date?
The Critic is scheduled to arrive in theaters on September 13, 2024. Prior to this, the film had its world premiere last year at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival.
The film is directed by Anand Tucker (Hilary and Jackie) from a screenplay written by Patrick Marber (Closer, Notes on a Scandal). Joining McKellen are Gemma Arterton (Prince of Persia, Byzantium), Mark Strong (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), Ben Barnes (Shadow and Bone), Alfred Enoch (Harry Potter), Romola Garai (One Life), and Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread). It is executive produced by Mark Gordon, Zygi Kamasa, Naomi George, Tom Butterfield and Harry White. Producers are Jolyon Symonds, Bill Kenwright and David Gilbery.
“London, 1934. Jimmy Erskine (McKellen) is the most feared theatre critic of the age,” reads the film’s official synopsis. “He lives as flamboyantly as he writes and takes pleasure in savagely taking down any actor who fails to meet his standards. When the owner of the Daily Chronicle newspaper dies, and his son David Brooke (Strong) takes over, Jimmy quickly finds himself at odds with his new boss and his position under threat. In an attempt to preserve the power and influence he holds so sacred, Jimmy strikes a faustian pact with struggling actress Nina Land (Arterton), entangling them and Brooke in a thrilling but deadly web of desire, blackmail and betrayal.”
