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.

[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. Jun 13, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Plenty of scope, then, for tragedy and comedy, but Paolo Virzi's film is neither profoundly sad nor uproariously funny. It just trundles along in a cocoon of modulated mediocrity, like the Spencers in their Leisure Seeker. Apr 19, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

There are quieter moments during which the glances between Sutherland and Mirren -- containing memories better left unvoiced -- suggest something worthier than the dreck they're trapped in. Apr 13, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

"The Leisure Seeker" deserves credit for tackling a difficult subject. Unfortunately it comes packaged in a clumsy road movie headed the wrong way down the highway. Mar 23, 2018 | Rating: D+ | Full Review…

The film veers close to poor taste - she's cancer-stricken, he's addled with Alzheimer's - and Italian director Paolo Virzi does let scenes drift on, but the stars keep things on course to the emotional close. Jan 27, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

It's a slow and bumpy film but Mirren and Sutherland are excellent; Ella and John are flawed and real, as she discovers a decades-old betrayal and he rages at her first love from 50 years ago. Jan 6, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

The Leisure Seeker isn't a bad film, but its sluggish pace, inexplicable changes between the film and the book, and some corny dialogue keep it from being great and distract the attention from the impressive central performances. Dec 29, 2018 | Full Review…

Something just doesn't quite gel here with a rambling script that too often leans on cliche to get by. Sep 7, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Sadly, the film is further proof that, beyond putting them in adult diapers, Hollywood has no idea what to do with its elders. Aug 27, 2018 | Rating: 1.5/5 | Full Review…
