The Carer actually turns out to be better than most iterations of this hoary old set-up. It is all because there is some lasting fizz to the two effervescent lead performances on display here.

A dyspeptic comedy that quickly gives in to sentimentality ... any dramatic tension dissolves into tepid manipulation.

The tale is almost as old as Sir Michael Gifford himself, and -- in this retelling -- one not short on those eccentricities common to the recent wave of country house cinema.

A simultaneously pretentious and amateurish luvviefest.

A wonderful screenplay full of wit and brimstone drives this - I was going to write charming but it's much tougher than that - emotionally satisfying and dramatically satisfying comedy

This is Cox's show, and he dives fully into the role of a cantankerous, hammy old thespian who isn't remotely ready to go gentle into that good night.

Cox's timing throughout is superb -- a comic masterclass that gives way to storms of temper worthy of Lear.

This slender piece about a famous actor begrudgingly accepting his young caregiver as he's gradually succumbing to Parkinson's is sentimental and doesn't care much about character backstory or development. But it's entertaining as hell.
