“his mystery thriller is outrageous and irresistible…It features delicious performances by Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen…This movie rattles along with terrific energy…it’s actually far more daring and ambitious that you might expect.” (The Guardian)
“Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen deliver an acting duet to die for in Bill Condon’s delectably clever and civilized con-artist thriller.” (Variety)
“Teaming two knighted acting legends in the same film is inspired…it’s a revelation, and a master class in acting at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art at the same time. Together, they redefine rapture.” (Observer)
