Exclusive to Herald Premium subscribers.
The reimagining of Anthony Quinn’s novel ‘Curtain Call’ centre on Jimmy Erskine (McKellen), the Daily Chronicle’s most famous and featured theatre critic of the age; David Brooke (Strong), with whom he clashes after recently inheriting the paper; and a young actress, Nina Land (Arterton), who is devastated by Jimmy’s recent negative review of her.
As the three become entangled in a whodunnit wrapped in a Faustian pact, their strange triangle winds tighter and tighter to devastating effect for all those caught in the deadly web of blackmail and betrayal.
The Critic will be in cinemas on 31 October 2024 but you can watch the trailer here. Enter our competition for a chance to win one of ten double passes.
