   Sep 23, 2024 · Jimmy Erskine (Ian McKellen) is a cold and beastly critic who takes immense pleasure in the fact that he holds the power to make or break a performer’s career with a mere handful of words. “The Critic,” set in 1934 London, follows Jimmy, chief drama critic of the Daily Chronicle.

   How long was 'the critic' filmed?

   • “The Critic,” which comes to theaters Friday, was shot over five weeks. “The budget was very small for what we were trying to achieve, Ian was 83, it was really hard,” Tucker, the film’s director, said. “But he was just on it — and he’s in almost everything.”

   Is 'the critic' a melodrama?

   • Two stars! Ian McKellen in the dreary slog ‘The Critic’ (Sean Gleason) The rest is plain melodrama, amped up by the way cinematographer David Higgs turns London into a fog-choked proscenium, never quite real in its existence.

   Is 'and the critic' based on a true story?

   • And The Critic – adapted by Notes on a Scandal ’s Patrick Marber from a novel by former Independent film critic Anthony Quinn – is, ultimately, a story about power. I wouldn’t expect relatability in this case, but I do expect substance. Here, it’s largely absent.

   Should I buy the critic on Fandango at home?

   • Buy The Critic on Fandango at Home. Everyone's a critic, and Ian McKellen is better than most at playing one, but even his character would give this rote melodrama a so-so review. It’s entertaining throughout, especially for McKellen’s acerbic performance, even if it becomes a tad over-theatrical towards the end.

   Why is 'the critic' so clumsy?

   • Each of these characters deserved more. The runtime of “The Critic” seems to be the root cause of its underutilized cast — it runs for an hour and 41 minutes, nowhere near long enough to neatly tie up all of the plot points and ensure that each of its actors gets their time to shine. By the third act, the piece feels rushed and somewhat clumsy.
