Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
I emerged from this story feeling sadder and wiser but was never fully engaged.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,

fresh:
Newcomer Wareing delivers an award-worthy performance as the steely Angie, who is impossible to hate even as she descends deeper into the moral abyss.

The film's bleak but powerful ending is a wake-up call to Britain and a measure of the pessimism of Loach, one of its most trenchant critics. I fear things must be really bad over there.
– Kamal Al-Solaylee,

It's a free world, Ken Loach asserts in his latest film with well-practiced disgust and unfortunately little hope.
