Not only is Sightseers a relishable achievement for its devisers, Lowe and Oram, but it enhances Wheatley's reputation as currently the most refreshingly offbeat and unpredictable director of British crime movies.

| Apr 9, 2018

A must for cult connoisseurs who take their comedy strong and dark.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 1, 2017

Devised by acting-writing comedy team Lowe and Oram and co-scripted by Amy Jump, director Ben Wheatley's professional and personal partner, the movie pokes fun at the social limitations of these lumpen Midlanders without sneering at or patronizing them.

It's not a perfect blend, but Ben Wheatley's film is different enough - on second thought, let's just call it what it is: weird - to warrant your attention. Your admiration, even.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 13, 2013

A British black comedy made in the spirit of "let's run with this demented premise till the tank is empty."

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 31, 2013

It's just not quite funny enough.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 31, 2013

With a wink and a shrug, Sightseers shows us evil in all its banality.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 30, 2013

A brilliant, deliciously wicked, and thoroughly enjoyable road film ...

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 30, 2013

Darkly funny as it is, the movie has undercurrents of genuine and very British weirdness.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 16, 2013

Wheatley is strikingly effective in his manipulation of tone, establishing a queasy intimacy that only intensifies as the movie progresses.

| May 16, 2013

What begins as an alert and witty barbed satire degenerates into a senseless bloodbath in the black comedy "Sightseers."

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 10, 2013

If you are in the mood for a bizarre tale of how to rid the British countryside of some of society's modern ills - litterbugs beware - "Sightseers" should do the trick.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 9, 2013

Working from a script by Ms. Lowe and Mr. Oram, Mr. Wheatley continues in the same bludgeoning, amusingly if dubiously deadpan fashion for what soon feels like an overextended joke.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | May 9, 2013

It may be the satirist's credo to spare no one, but in Sightseers, no one is spared Wheatley's smug superiority.

| May 9, 2013

Sightseers is a jet-black comedy that understands exactly how absurdist it is, and its murders are always played for laughs-aided by their gruesome depictions.

| May 9, 2013

The film proceeds with a lazy, sketch-like feel that makes more sense after considering that these characters began on stage; the material was reconceived as a movie after a 온라인카지노추천 pilot failed to ignite.

Full Review | Original Score: C- | May 9, 2013

Lowe and Oram have been living with these characters for years, and it shows. The acting is very funny and well-observed.

| Original Score: 4/4 | May 9, 2013

A morose, unsettling blend of pathology for sport and murder for laughs.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 8, 2013

A sick gag of a film that's bound to scar only the irony-challenged.

| Original Score: 5/5 | May 7, 2013

This sardonic depiction of Britain, as a land where a thin veneer of strained politesse and fussy specificity of tastes masks a throbbing heart of darkness, makes for Ben Wheatley's best film yet.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 7, 2013
