I think it's something that's profoundly personal. It makes you think about the situation and how you would react if you were in that circumstance.

Guardian

It is a spare, tight, moving piece of drama that should force us all to care - about who will look after us in our old age, who will look after them and who will fund it all. We're none of us getting any younger, you know.

Rated: 4/5

Jasper Rees

Daily Telegraph (UK)

For all the careful shaping of the narrative, it was not entirely possible to camouflage the flavour of a pulpit infomercial. But as has happened before with prime time drama, if Care proves an effective loudhailer it will have done its job.

Rated: 3/5

Keith Watson

Metro Newspaper (UK)

Even in hard-to-watch scenes where she struggled to speak, lashed out violently and wandered the streets as her dementia developed, we glimpsed the humanity of the woman behind the breakdown.

It was as subtle as a head-butt, but McGovern doesn't mind as long as you get the message.

Sunday Times (UK)

It was Smith, though, who was the emotional core, never "acting natural," with all the eye-catching tics and inflections that suggests, but just being it, showing grief, love and frustration without one showy note.

I have worked as a nurse for elderly care in US and we face the same problems. Very accurate portrayal from issues facing the families and the care givers.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
