Rated The Christophers 9/10

I went into this pretty much blind because a friend got sick and had already purchased a ticket, and it was a very lovely experience! It'd been a while since I saw a grounded drama in theaters, and they just hit differently on the big screen, huh? The Cinema! It's a great place. The movie itself was pleasant and enjoyable. McKellan and Coel are perfectly paired; McKellan can talk and gesticulate like no one else, and Coel is a master of subtlety. Bit of a jumpscare seeing James Corden on screen, but he was Fine. I also really appreciated how the movie respects your time. It doesn't linger in things like "will he find out???" for very long; it hits the conflict, gets something interesting out of it, then keeps things moving - for a grand total of 100 minutes. What a blessing!
