Leave your thoughts about The Leisure Seeker.
| Fresh FictionCourtney HowardThe Leisure Seeker is what we in the biz call, "something else." |
| The Patriot LedgerAl AlexanderItalian director Paolo Virzi has much to say about old age. But just what that message might be is more opaque than Grandma's support hose. |
| MetroGregory WakemanNot too much happens for most of The Leisure Seeker. But it is one of those films where you don't mind its tranquility and leisurely pace. Watching Donald Sutherland and Helen Mirren being so smitten and in love with each other is just so delightful. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordWhile Sutherland's addled John makes for a surprisingly assured pilot of the couple's old RV, Virzi's film veers all over the map, too frequently straining the limits of taste...Mirren and Sutherland make a great pair, but they need another vehicle. |
| The TelegraphRobbie CollinThe canon of Alzheimer’s films doesn’t lack for performances piled up with compassion and fine-grained observation, from Iris all the way to Still Alice. But as their faded Winnebago wends its way to the coast, Ella and John show there’s room for two more. |
| CineVueJohn BleasdaleThe Leisure Seeker is dry-eyed even at its most moving and a celebration of love even as it reaches its end. |
| Radio TimesStephen CartyThe Leisure Seeker doesn't offer many surprises, but it really captures the realities of a long-term relationship, and is the kind of film that makes you appreciate the person you're with. |
| Independent (UK)Geoffrey MacnabSentimentality and morbidity sit side by side. Thankfully, Mirren and Sutherland bring enough mischief, humour and passion to their roles to ensure that the film's more toe-curling moments are quickly forgotten. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip MartinThe Leisure Seeker is not particular satisfying or entertaining. |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob Thomas"If you've been through what John and Ella are going through with a family member of your own, "The Leisure Seeker" is true enough to that experience. And it's enough of a fantasy to make you wish for a Winnebago, an open road and a little more time." |
