Lori Butler becomes the assistant of renowned artist Julian Sklar as part of her scheme to complete his The Christophers portrait series.
Michaela Coel is keeping her fans happy. After recently making her movie comeback with Mother Mary, she’s already back with Steven Soderbergh’s The Christophers.
In this unpredictable drama, the I May Destroy You actress plays an art restorer named Lori Butler who is hired by the children of renowned artist Julian Sklar (Ian McKellen) to complete his famous and extremely lucrative portrait series The Christophers.
Earlier paintings in the series have sold for millions, and it’s widely believed he has several more locked away in his archives. But that’s not true – the remaining ones are unfinished.
Barnaby (James Corden) and Sallie (Jessica Gunning) want Lori to complete them so they can sell them for a fortune after Julian passes away.
Lori pretends to be a new assistant to gain access to Julian’s house and carry out the forgery – but the plan is not as straightforward as his children...
