Deborah Fabulous, tear-jerky, heart-warming Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/15/24 Full Review Roy J This is what the art of filmmaking is all about. To empathize with characters you've never encountered before. I hope Ken Loach doesn't retire because he's still got it!

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/29/24 Full Review juliette et nahya n This movie is a call for solidarity in front of contemporaries' issues. We are all humans and there are no borders, no languages, or skin color who can break the brotherhood and that’s exactly the message of this movie. It will not be the most entertaining and fascinating movie you will see but that doesn't make it less emotional. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/30/24 Full Review jana l If you had the idea to watch this movie you need to know some things about it. It was directed by Ken Loach in 2023. If you are here, it is because you planned to watch it, and it is not long, so that is great! For my point of view, it is a good movie that denounce in unusual way the war in Syria and how the immigrants were welcomed in the village of Easington Colliery in the county of Durkam. I loved how they showed the reality of life and that we do not live in a pink world because not every citizen wanted to help the refugees. In my point of view at the end of the movie it shows that we can live together and stick together because we are all human and that for a human being, we all want people to be happy even if we do not love them because of their difference and their stories as you would see on the film. I loved how the director made the point of view of all the characters and made the story of the movie even harder because of all their stories. For me it was not boring because of all the interesting stories of everyone and how they loved it. If I had to name my favorite character, I would say Tommy Joe the owner of the pub because he is the definition of the men that we fought had no story but instead he was dealing with so many problems that we could not suspect. It made me realize that the movie shows how difficult leaving your country is but also how brave some people who are sometime poorer than the rest but are the first who are trying to help others, and that is what I loved in that movie. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/30/24 Full Review Léonor R ‘The Old Oak’ is an interesting movie because it talks about actual topics which everyone is going through today, in our society. We can meet a lot of different profiles and situations in the story which viewers can identify with. The places where the movie was filmed are common places which make story accessible to all. It shares a beautiful message about solidarity and hope. It proves also that the difference of culture or language isn’t a barrier to friendship or solidarity. We can all help others in one way or another. However, I think that the end of the movie doesn’t answer all the questions we can ask ourselves and some scenes don’t have a real interest in the plot.
