Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com It's difficult to become invested in Pannach's ordeal when he's curiously dispassionate and irritatingly casual as the film's central subject. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 20, 2020 Full Review Nathanael Hood The Retro Set ...this attempt to prove the universality of political oppression regardless of doctrine approaches hyperbolic absurdity. Rated: 4/10 Dec 28, 2018 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice A sophisticated political film directed by Ken Loach. Rated: 4/5 Aug 28, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member down-played emotions, realistic.. i liked the style. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Very intelligent little film and though one of Ken Loach's more unknown work, highly recommended to everyone. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Despite the dodgy acting, this film presents some fascintating perspectives on the perceived relationship between capitalism and freedom. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
