Interview: 'Critics and Actors Don't Officially Get On': Actor Sir Ian McKellen on New Film THE CRITIC

Interview: 'It's the Hustle That's the Biggest Training': Director Anand Tucker on THE CRITIC

Recently, we had the chance to speak with the director of The Critic, Anand Tucker. We discussed how he first got started in the world of cinema, what it is like to be adapting a work like The Critic and even his thoughts on critics in the modern age versus the 1930s.
Film Review: THE CRITIC Photo
Film Review: THE CRITIC

The Irish writer Brendan Behan described critics as “eunuchs in a harem; they know how it’s done, they’ve seen it done every day, but they’re unable to do it themselves”. Quite a damning characterisation. Anand Tucker introduces an ageing critic, Jimmy Erskine, whose name and ruthlessness are the stuff of legends. When a struggling actress becomes entangled in his web, Erskine drags both of them down a dangerous path. Loosely based on Anthony Quinn’s novel Curtain Call but featuring a different premise, The Critic is a solid, witty black comedy before seamlessly shifting into a chic crime drama.
