The film recovers from its dialogue-heavy middle section doldrums to deliver a sophisticated and emotionally resonant finale.
The Christophers starts promisingly with an intriguing premise and strong lead performances, but sags significantly in the middle with overly talky sequences that some critics found tedious. The film redeems itself in the final act with sharper focus and a sophisticated, ambiguous ending that critics found moving and well-crafted.
