Sightseers

d/ Ben Wheatly

Very black British comedy.

A mother-oppressed 34 yo woman heads off in a caravan for a holiday with a ginger-haired bachelor who turns out to be a serial killer. They are a perfect match.

As the incidents pile up the pattern becomes clear...this might have been better at 60 minutes or so. Still the two players are marvelous...the dialogue becomes more and more absurd eventually leading to laugh-out-loud moments toward the end. Seldom has British reserve been used so well.
