#TIFF25: “THE CHRISTOPHERS” REVIEW
By Nicholas Porteous
The prolific and unpredictable Steven Soderbergh goes back to basics with The Christophers.

His money-minded children (James Corden and Jessica Gunning) send her on a mission to secretly complete an unfinished series of his paintings--The Christophers--which reside ...

In Derek Cianfrance's Roofman, the nicest robber you've ever met (Channing Tatum), makes a temporary home inside a Toys R Us, and manages to fall for one of the employees (Kirsten Dunst).
