Peter Debruge Variety A crackling original drama about artistic legacy in all its facets. Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Nick Schager The Daily Beast With Ian McKellen in superbly crotchety form and Michaela Coel exuding chilly cunning, it’s further proof that Soderbergh remains one of American cinema’s most inimitable, and adventurous, auteurs. Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Trace Sauveur AwardsWatch Despite a more orthodox veneer, The Christophers easily slots in with other recent Soderbergh works in feeling like yet another curious digression in a career that, at this point, has turned into a perpetual series of quaint and unexpected pit stops. Rated: B+ Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Jeanine T. Abraham VisAbleBlackwoman (Medium) The film questions the very nature of how we value art, family, and what a legacy actually is, and who are the people who have the best capacity to preserve a legacy. Rated: 5/5 Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Alex Papaioannou InSession Film Soderbergh makes it look easy, but he and Solomon are aware life is anything but. The Christophers just takes that difficulty and channels it into something pure. Rated: B+ Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Christopher Schobert The Film Stage For audiences wishing to see two actors dig into juicy roles, The Christophers will get the job done. If you’re looking for a deep analysis of originality and artifice, look elsewhere. Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
