THE CRITIC is a deliciously dark and sharp-witted thriller, written by Patrick Marber and featuring an all-star British cast including Ian McKellen, Gemma Arterton, Mark Strong, Ben Barnes, Alfred Enoch, Romola Garai and Lesley Manville.

Ian McKellen plays Jimmy Erskine, the city's most feared drama critic, and Gemma Arterton plays Nina Land, the actress determined to win his approval. Adversaries, forced to take desperate measures to save their careers, they become entangled in a dangerous web of blackmail, ambition, and deception when Jimmy finds himself in the crosshairs of his newspaper's new owner, David Brooke (Mark Strong).
