Leave your thoughts about It's a Free World....
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumI emerged from this story feeling sadder and wiser but was never fully engaged. |
| Toronto StarPeter HowellNewcomer Wareing delivers an award-worthy performance as the steely Angie, who is impossible to hate even as she descends deeper into the moral abyss. |
| CinematicalRyan StewartWorks on every level -- the performances are compelling, the drama feels grounded and real, and we brush up against an issue so large and overwhelming that you can easily see why no one thinks it's their problem to solve. |
| Time OutDavid FearFree World doesnâ(TM)t need to manufacture tension; its critique of corruption by association is compelling enough. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyRealistically filmed, but limited by narrative cuts that hopscotch through time, "It's a Free World" is a flawed film that overflows with ideas. You should never pass up a Ken Loach movie, and this is no exception to the rule. |
| Jam! MoviesLiz BraunLoach is offering commentary, not solutions, so this one could be the feel-bad film of the week. In the best way, of course. |
| Globe and MailKamal Al-SolayleeThe film's bleak but powerful ending is a wake-up call to Britain and a measure of the pessimism of Loach, one of its most trenchant critics. I fear things must be really bad over there. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonEven if it collapses in on itself a bit, there's still a rough power underneath everything that makes it worth a look. |
| User ReviewGeorge BVery honest and precise just as Loach and Laverty have always been. Characters are very well portrayed. Absolutely socially valuable. |
| User ReviewClaudia A(In questo mondo libero) assolutamente da vedere soprattutto per chi vive "al di fuori" della realtà |
