...less dogmatic and milder than most of Loach's work, with a kind of sweet dignity about it

It doesn't really succeed in illustrating the workers' plights in a way that is ultimately sympathetic.

Loach and a very good cast make it work.

It might make emotional sense, but it doesn't make legal sense, and the plot rests heavily on legal issues.
Original Score: 2.5/4

Presents a slice of life that has hardly made a scratch on American celluloid. With any luck, that scratch will help generate a real itch.

What makes Loach's effort memorable is his impeccable eye for detail, both in human behavior and physical setting, and the performances he pulls from his players.

Loach treats [the story] as a late-breaking sidebar to a narrative that essentially amounts to a tract on the glories of unskilled trade unionism.
Original Score: 1/4

Isn't a bad movie, just a painfully obvious one.

Loach ... has made his most appealing and involving movie to date with the touching, naturalistic Bread and Roses.
