Valentine’s Day/ Sightseers at HOME
Tom Grieve, Cinema Editor
Ben Wheatley’s dark, dark comedy Sightseers stars Alice Lowe and Steve Oram as a loved up couple on a caravan tour of the North of England. Oram’s Chris has a hair-trigger temper that leads him to kill a litterer, and it isn’t long before his girlfriend Tina (Lowe) gets in on the action as the pair embark upon a murder spree that takes in the sites from the National Tramway Museum to Keswick’s Pencil Museum.
Laugh out loud funny in a profoundly British way, Wheatley’s film nails the details whilst maintaining an offbeat tone that won over critics. Perfect Valentine’s fare.
