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.

It's funny, unexpected and profoundly moving.

The Carer is an undeniably pleasant watch that features Brian Cox in his best cinematic screen role in some time.

The Carer emerges as a generally endearing, even heart-warming film that succeeds in spite of its flaws.
Rob Carnevale
Indie London
An engaging and sweetly observed comedy-drama, where Brian Cox seizes the opportunity to turn the twinkly-eyed factor up to eleven.

It's a slight but touching story, and the film also makes some sharp observations about the immigrant experience. I liked it.

The perfect mix of comedy and tragedy, combined with superb performances from all the actors involved, makes the movie amusing to watch.

The Carer is full of heart charm and lots of laughter, but it is Brian Cox’s commanding lead performance that truly ignites the screen, elevating and shaping this simple film into something quite special.

Now after seeing The Carer I am desperate for someone to film Cox's Lear. It would be amazing.

For devotees of Cinema Gold who can cope with clever, hilarious dialogue and old folksy foibles, it is a must-see.
Peter Lampp

The Carer is by turns poignant, funny, sad and uplifting. [...] Beautifully and lovingly filmed and directed in an unobtrusive, polished way, The Carer is a true gem.

The Carer is a bittersweet examination of aging. It has both a nostalgic melancholy and a vibrant energy that ebb and flow through the course of the piece.
