...feels as if it belongs on the small screen.

This slender piece about a famous actor begrudgingly accepting his young caregiver as he's gradually succumbing to Parkinson's is sentimental and doesn't care much about character backstory or development. But it's entertaining as hell.

The Carer actually turns out to be better than most iterations of this hoary old set-up. It is all because there is some lasting fizz to the two effervescent lead performances on display here.

This is Cox's show, and he dives fully into the role of a cantankerous, hammy old thespian who isn't remotely ready to go gentle into that good night.

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

Cox's timing throughout is superb -- a comic masterclass that gives way to storms of temper worthy of Lear.

A dyspeptic comedy that quickly gives in to sentimentality ... any dramatic tension dissolves into tepid manipulation.

A simultaneously pretentious and amateurish luvviefest.
