The Leisure Seeker

Critics Consensus

The Leisure Seeker certainly doesn't suffer from any shortage of acting talent, but it's largely squandered on a predictable, diffuse drama with little to say.

Critic Reviews for The Leisure Seeker

All Critics (108) | Top Critics (38) | Fresh (41) | Rotten (67)

  • Finding any comedy in aggressive diseases requires a delicacy of tone absent from this plodding adaptation of Michael Zadoorian's novel.

    Andrea Gronvall

    Chicago Reader

  • It's one of those movies that makes you feel rather sad for everyone concerned with making it.

    June 15, 2018 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

    David Stratton

    The Australian

  • [The Leisure Seeker] is a predictable scenario. It can't be anything else. But these two great talents invest it with humanity and courage in the face of its inescapable home truths.

    June 13, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

    Sandra Hall

    Sydney Morning Herald

  • The picture would be close to unbearable without the presence of Sutherland and Mirren. Neither is anywhere near his or her best.

    Donald Clarke

    Irish Times

  • The plot isn't the most depressing thing about the film. That honour goes to the fact that two such eminent actors are not getting better roles...

    Wendy Ide

    Observer (UK)

  • A funny and truthful look at growing old together.
