Movie Reviews

Radio Times - 8/10 by Stephen CartyAll of this is entirely predictable, but it is funnier than you might expect, with Cox grabbing numerous laughs along the way.
Jerusalem Post - 8/10 by Hannah BrownThose who love Shakespeare and great British acting should not pass up The Carer.
Contactmusic.com - 7/10 by Rich ClineThis is Cox's show, and he dives fully into the role of a cantankerous, hammy old thespian who isn't remotely ready to go gentle into that good night.
Scotsman - 6/10 by Alistair HarknessCox certainly seems to be having a blast and, despite some of the plot details in the latter stages stretching credulity to breaking point, his sense of playfulness makes it easy to forgive any shortcomings.
Urban Cinefile - 6/10 by Andrew L. UrbanA wonderful screenplay full of wit and brimstone drives this - I was going to write charming but it's much tougher than that - emotionally satisfying and dramatically satisfying comedy
Guardian - 6/10 by Peter BradshawCox carries it off with wit and flair; König is rather good too, and the screenplay has many witty touches.
Indie London - 6/10 by Rob CarnevaleThe Carer emerges as a generally endearing, even heart-warming film that succeeds in spite of its flaws.
WOW247 - 6/10 by Matthew TurnerAn engaging and sweetly observed comedy-drama, where Brian Cox seizes the opportunity to turn the twinkly-eyed factor up to eleven.
Daily Mail (UK) - 6/10 by Brian VinerIt's a slight but touching story, and the film also makes some sharp observations about the immigrant experience. I liked it.
MovieMail - 6/10 by Mike McCahillThe tale is almost as old as Sir Michael Gifford himself, and -- in this retelling -- one not short on those eccentricities common to the recent wave of country house cinema.
