US/UK, Feature Film, 2025, 100 min

Julian Sklar (Ian McKellen) was once a star of London’s 1960s and ‘70s pop-art explosion, but he hasn’t painted in decades and has been broke for years. His two estranged children (James Corden, Jessica Gunning), desperate for an inheritance, hire Lori (Michaela Coel), an art restorer and former forger, to pose as a prospective assistant in order to access eight unfinished canvases Julian has buried deep in storage. Her plan is to complete them, then return them to storage, where they are to be “discovered” upon Julian’s death. Film courtesy of Neon
