Michaela Coel & Ian McKellan are truly the highlights of The Christophers, a film that settles for being an overly tranquil exploration of artistic legacy. It's a slow build, & doesn't necessarily hit any extreme emotional depths, but its wonderful to see McKellan play on screen. pic.twitter.com/bl5v0lFrG7
