Leave your thoughts about The Carer.
| Radio TimesStephen CartyAll of this is entirely predictable, but it is funnier than you might expect, with Cox grabbing numerous laughs along the way. |
| Jerusalem PostHannah BrownThose who love Shakespeare and great British acting should not pass up The Carer. |
| Contactmusic.comRich 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. |
| ScotsmanAlistair 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 CinefileAndrew 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 |
| GuardianPeter BradshawCox carries it off with wit and flair; König is rather good too, and the screenplay has many witty touches. |
| Indie LondonRob CarnevaleThe Carer emerges as a generally endearing, even heart-warming film that succeeds in spite of its flaws. |
| WOW247Matthew 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)Brian VinerIt's a slight but touching story, and the film also makes some sharp observations about the immigrant experience. I liked it. |
| MovieMailMike 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. |
