Using eloquent archive footage and contemporary interviews not exactly representative of the other side of the argument, Loach hammers his points home one by one. March 15, 2013 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The film ends up as a tale told by an ideologue, full of sound and fury, of question-begging certitudes and the siege engines of self-righteousness. March 14, 2013 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Demanding balance from a Ken Loach film is a little like wanting a goat to do a handstand. March 14, 2013 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

A shame that Loach's latest has all the political sophistication of a students' union protest... As it stands, it's a respectable but flawed portrait of national endurance. February 12, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

That The Spirit of '45 survives its simplifications is due to the sincerity and urgency of Loach's argument. And, regrettably, to its pertinence. October 3, 2017 | Full Review…

What could be, and largely is, a load of old lefties banging on about the wonders of golden age socialism, is also very much intended as a rallying call to action before the last vestiges of state ownership are tossed to the capitalists. September 1, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

A fond postcard from Ken Loach from the era when British socialism with a democratic spirit gripped the nation in a post-war embrace. His sense of cinema serves him well and he knows how to elicit emotions with the various tools at his disposal November 30, 2013 | Full Review…
