“An irascible, dyspeptic old English painter called Julian Sklar, wonderfully played by Ian McKellen, is a once dominant but now outmoded and disliked artist of the School of London variety, living solo in a chaotic bohemian townhouse in the capital\u2019s Bloomsbury district; he is a man given to toweringly witty and cantankerous rants against everything that presents itself to his raddled senses.”\u2014Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian<\/a><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“A spectacular Ian McKellen plays the artist Julian Sklar, a crank, and sometimes a despicable one, but the sort you kind of love.”\u2014Alissa Wilkinson, The New York Times<\/a><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
