Ken Loach’s often funny yet intensely moving tale of the friendship between an out-of-work carpenter and a young single mother, forced to navigate the vagaries of the British welfare system, arrives on a wave of critical acclaim which saw its director win the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes. With this work of quiet outrage and beauty Loach and his regular screenwriter Paul Laverty deliver a tale of righteous anger that will leave everyone moved. It's a political drama that touches the soul.
