Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
[Loach is] the master of the docu-drama or the realist social film, and Wind is one of his masterpieces.

fresh:
[Loach] has made an often handsome, always sobering movie that does what the best movies do: leave us a whole lot less sure about what we ought to think.

fresh:
Raises hard questions about Ireland's uncanny ability to kneecap itself.
– Kyle Smith,
