The Leisure Seeker Audience Reviews

Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
mjshenkenberg I rarely to never leave a movie feeling wowed. This movie was an exception; this was such a lovely and moving film. The characters were hauntingly beautiful as was there love story, filled with so much history that slowly unfolds seamlessly throughout the film. This movie made me laugh, and evoked so many other feelings. The critics interestingly enough missed the gem that this movie is.
TxMike My wife and I watched this at home on DVD from our public library.Helen Mirren is Ella Spencer and her husband of many years is Donald Sutherland as John Spencer. A former well-regarded professor he now is experiencing bouts of dementia as he ages. Most days he doesn't remember much, but then will for a brief time return to normal. However the condition is progressive, they have no hope it will turn around.In an early scene her adult children are told by a neighbor she will help out when their mother goes to the hospital. We don't get any more information, except that she wears a wig, but during their trip she begins to experience her own deterioration.They have an old Winnebago in a garage at home, it is caller the "Leisure Seeker", thus the title of the movie. The story here is their own road trip, heading from Massachusetts to Key West, and she knows it will be their last trip together. They tell no one of their plans, their adult son and daughter desperately try to get them home to no avail.It is a very well-made movie but since it involves an older couple tying up loose ends of their lives likely appeals more to the mature viewer.
shyavitz The movie is nothing great. The book is much better at telling the sad story of an aging couple in the real world.
blauregenbogen I love it,funny and it's all about in our lives. Love,respect,compromise,listening and even more... anyway love till end whatever comes...
