Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
poetrypants Finally got to watch this highly rated "terrific black comedy". Ironically this couple travel from the W midlands the length of England in this Lottery funded piece and never meet a black character. We've come so far since Nottinghill ... If you want a genuinely original piece about the weird machinations of white people camping go straight to Nuts in May, the master piece by Mike Leigh
danieljfenner Is it black-comedy or is it a crime thriller with just a LOT of comic relief? We may never know, nor does the director - Mr. Wheatley know himself. Which is testament to his genius. When it comes to confusion, Mr. Wheatley has mastered it. Of course, the tone of the film's outcome is also due to the stars Oram and Lowe who also penned the dryly comic script. Yet it is Wheatley's surreal style including dramatic slow-motion, disorienting jump cuts and jerky hand-held camera work that bring us into this anti-hero world of dull British tourism. It's like he will tease you with something really flashy then go back to being very minimal. As if Kubrick and Ken Loach made a movie together and took turns with every scene. This unpredictable British indie-gem feels like "Henry: The Portrait of Miss Sunshine." Or better yet, if "Natural Born Killers" was directed by Alexander Payne.Sightseers is a road comedy with a high body count, but it doesn't get lost in it's comedy. When it's time to be disturbed, brace yourself. Wheately has a way of building tension with whimsy and humour. You're thinking, "I know the tone is about to shift here." But it never does when you want it to. You just simply don't get what you want with a Wheatley film. "Kill List", also by Wheatley certainly didn't give anyone what they wanted but that didn't make it bad. We don't deserve a happy ending just because we are watching it. In many ways though it is a lot like "Kill List". They each open with a scene of domestic dysfunction, they each involve a pair of travelers with varying personalities who are incessantly irritated by their content peers that surround them. Whether they are folky Christians in a hotel restaurant or a rowdy bridal party in a tavern, they inspire the ire and scorn of their protagonists. If you like to laugh but then you find yourself having to schedule a visit with your therapist about said laughs, then Sightseers is for you! (Reading Rainbow interlude riff)
buly_boy2007 I you have enough time to waste I will say: go ahead and watch this. I was not impressed at all and the only thing that kept me watching until the end was the British humor that is well known. The movie is absurd, it tries to be funny but it fails sometimes. It tries to be normal, but it definitely isn't normal and what the story suggests is quite very Utopian. The characters are very far away from the society and if the movie would have been a little bit more funnier, maybe, just maybe, we would have had a better vision about this one.Maybe it's just my opinion but I will definitely not want to watch something like this again.
deckersmiriam Chris (Steve Oram) wants to show Tina (Alice Lowe) his world and he wants to do it his way - on a journey through the British Isles in his beloved Abbey Oxford Caravan. Tina's led a sheltered life and there are things that Chris needs her to see - the Crich Tramway Museum, the Ribblehead Viaduct, the Keswick Pencil Museum and the rolling countryside that separates these wonders in his life. But it doesn't take long for the dream to fade. Litterbugs, noisy teenagers and pre-booked caravan sites, not to mention Tina's meddling mother, soon conspire to shatter Chris's dreams and send him, and anyone who rubs him the wrong way, over a very jagged edge.If I would have to describe this film I would describe it as a dark, confusing and horrifying film if you don't like violence and blood. In my eyes this film is not for children under 15 Years because this film contains scenes of sex and quite a lot of violence.
