My Name is Joe

...Ken Loach works very near the top of his form, his angrily unblinkered vision of life at the rough end of modern Britain tempered with humanity, humour and a storyline that could almost come from a classic screwball romantic comedy.

...Loach brings the drama down to a very human and personal level. The movie is chock-full of pointed moments in which we witness the toll of poverty on this impoverished neighborhood.
