Sightseers
"A brilliant, deliciously wicked, and thoroughly enjoyable road film" —Philadelphia Inquirer
"Very British blend of quirky character-comedy and homicidal violence has all the makings of a midnight-movie cult classic." —Hollywood Reporter
"Funny, disturbing, sly and sharp. An uproarious murdering crime-spree comedy." —Los Angeles Times
Chris wants to show Tina his world and he wants to do it his way - on a journey through the British Isles in his beloved Abbey Oxford Caravan. Tina’s led a sheltered life and there are things that Chris needs her to see - the Crich Tramway Museum, the Ribblehead Viaduct, the Keswick Pencil Museum and the rolling countryside that separates these wonders in his life. But it doesn’t take long for the dream to fade. Litterbugs, noisy teenagers and pre-booked caravan sites, not to mention Tina’s meddling mother, soon conspire to shatter Chris’s dreams and send him, and anyone who rubs him the wrong way, over a very jagged edge.
