A mainstay of the London art scene since his starry breakout in the creative
explosion of the 1960’s, Julian Sklar (Ian McKellen) has drifted into a cluttered, selfimposed seclusion. His two estranged children (James Corden, Jessica Gunning)
enlist Lori (Michaela Coel), a young painter and sometime-forger, to pose as a
prospective assistant and gain access to a fabled series of unfinished canvases Julian
has buried deep in his home studio, in a deceptive bid to secure an inheritance for
themselves.
A film by Steven Soderbergh.
Starring Ian McKellen & Michaela Coel.
"Terrifically exhilarating and funny, as bracing as a large vodka and tonic before lunch: fast, literate and funny with a key plot progression elliptically and unsentimentally managed." Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
