The Carer (I) (2016)
7/10
fine performance
14 January 2018
Sir Michael Gifford (Brian Cox) is a celebrated stage actor suffering from a rare form of Parkinson's. His overprotective daughter Sophia (Emilia Fox) struggles to find a caregiver for her grumpy father. Young Hungarian actress Dorottya (Coco König) arrives hoping to start her job as his carer.

The plot is relatively thin. The characters are simply drawn. Brian Cox laps it all up. Coco König has a simple beauty although her flat accent makes her acting within the acting less than compelling. I am thankful that they didn't force a romance. This is lovely and enjoyable. It may not be ground shaking but it is perfectly fine.
