Chase Hutchinson TheWrap In the end, this film about artists becomes a work of art in its own right. The more you look at it, the more its many components reveal themselves to you. Sep 21, 2025 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com What works best about 'The Christophers' is embedded in the performances and characters played by McKellen and Coel, coming at each other with entirely different temperatures. Sep 11, 2025 Full Review Robert Daniels Screen International In a test of wits and wills held mostly in a single-setting, Soderbergh pushes both characters to return to their former passions through philosophical conversations that reflect his own career. Sep 11, 2025 Full Review Doug Jamieson The Jam Report The film is confined, conversational, and intellectual, yet occasionally too restrained for its own good. Rated: 3/5 Oct 25, 2025 Full Review Joonatan Itkonen Toisto.net The Christophers is a finely tuned, often impeccably acted, and thoroughly compelling chamber piece that works like intellectual comfort food. It's a delight to spend time with. Rated: 4/5 Oct 2, 2025 Full Review Brooke Obie Black Girl Watching A heart-warming story of a man in the twilight of his life who finds hope and renewed energy for one last hurrah in a pupil and teacher he never saw coming.
