The Critic (out Oct 3) is a 1930s tale about an elderly theatre critic, famous for his barbs and insults, whose job is at risk following a change in newspaper management. Liked the first half but when it develops into a contrived thriller in the later stages, I was less convinced. 85-year-old Ian McKellen has fun in the title role. Grade: B-.
