S. C Funny script. It's shot interestingly and with thought. The performances are pretty good. The scenery of the landscapes look great. Some editing choices seem questionable. Some of the music and its timing is iffy. A good comedic watch. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/10/23 Full Review Gareth v The type of movie the British have always excelled out, demented dark comedies. And this road trip come serial killer flick is a fine addition to other black comedies from the UK. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/20/23 Full Review Bonny P Yes this movie is nuts, twisted & funny, but so am I. I've watched it three times since its release. My FIL walked out. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/25/23 Full Review Chris E A truly bizarre romp that has you sympathizing with the murderous protagonists... perhaps a bit too much. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/09/23 Full Review Dave S When the seemingly charming Chris (Steve Oram) takes his new girlfriend Tina (Alice Lowe), a morose middle-aged woman who lives in her mother's shadow, on a road trip across England, things take an unexpected turn when Chris begins killing those who irritate him, causing the impressionable Tina to follow suit. Ben Wheatley's Sightseers is about as dark as a black comedy can be as the two protagonists manage to justify their actions in the most outrageous ways, including murder being a green initiative to help save the planet. As funny as it is at times and as compelling as the characters are, it does feel as though it becomes a bit repetitive by the mid-way point when the cycle of confrontation-murder-justification becomes a mantra without end. Regardless, it has its moments and is worth watching for the sheer audacity of the characters' actions. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/03/24 Full Review isla s This is a somewhat typical British dark comedy film, where the setting doesn't really match the tone of the film at all. It may appear a bit mundane but then I suppose it gives the more surprising plot twists more of an edge when they suddenly appear (I won't give any precise spoilers, so as hopefully not to, you guessed it, spoil it). I found the dialogue a little hard to follow in parts as characters can be a bit mumbly at times. Also, any film that features deadpan delivery of the place name 'dingly dell' gets at the least a smirk from me. Speaking of that, I also thought it was amusing (to an extent) just that its set on a caravan park - maybe that says more about me? I don't know, you can make your own mind up about that (or not). There's a quirky sense to it, even if it is both mundane and features deadpan unemotional dialogue. There is some relatively violent (including bloody) visual imagery present, so it's not ideal for the especially squeamish but I certainly wouldn't say its a run of the mill slasher type film either. It's definitely not. I've seen a few Bean Wheatley films and this is my favourite out of them. I also thought that Alice Lowe gave a particularly good performance as Tina, a constantly concerned/angry/on edge lady and the main female character. I liked the music used, which has a slightly doom-laden feel to it, without being too over the top (believe it or not) and I thought the end scene was quite memorable - it has something of an artistic feel to it almost. I would recommend this film, yes. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
