	Author	Review
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"The satire is firmly seated in character, and no one understands how well a good homicide can elucidate character better than Wheatley"	POS
United States	Neil Young The Hollywood Reporter	"A pitch-black and sometimes gorily violent laugh-riot"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"Mr. Wheatley continues in the same bludgeoning, amusingly if dubiously deadpan fashion for what soon feels like an overextended joke"	NEU
United Kingdom	Kim Newman Empire	"A uniquely British blend of excruciating comedy of embarrassment and outright grue, not quite as disorientating in its mood shifts as Kill List but just as impressive a film. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Kyle Smith New York Post	"What begins as an alert and witty barbed satire degenerates into a senseless bloodbath in the black comedy 'Sightseers' (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	NEU
