Review

A bit the same territory as Daniel Blake in the first third, but without the edge, and then going on to follow him into shit work. Excellent sparse performance by the lead (Vincent Lindon) but in the end curiously unsatisfying. The underlying desperation of all the characters in Daniel Blake was missing, somehow you felt that they would all be ok despite everything, which was certainly not the outcome of Loach's masterpiece.
