Proud, though poor, Bob wants his little girl to have a beautiful (and costly) brand-new dress for her First Communion. His stubbornness and determination get him into trouble as he turns to increasingly questionable measures, in his desperation to raise the needed money. This tragic flaw leads him to risk all that he loves and values, his beloved family, indeed even his immortal soul and salvation, in blind pursuit of that goal.

Brisk, richly characterized fiction that cuts as deeply and truly as any documentary.

Without ever mentioning politics, Loach makes the most powerful and effective of political statements -- one that relies on subtlety and the intelligence of the audience.

Gripping and sadly true to life.

The film is good-hearted and the characters are easy to identify with, but what I liked best was the underlying humor, even in this desperate situation.
