Philip Kemp Sight & Sound Apr 9, 2018
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. Go to Full Review

4/5
A must for cult connoisseurs who take their comedy strong and dark. Go to Full Review
Graham Fuller Film Comment Magazine Nov 5, 2013
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. Go to Full Review
Michael Frank The Spool Aug 10, 2023
The film is quirky, offbeat, and funny in its casualness with death. Go to Full Review
Paul Lê Bloody Disgusting Jul 23, 2023
4/5

Tom Cassidy Common Sense Media May 17, 2021
4/5
