Eric Bishop, a middle-aged postman working for the Manchester sorting office, is going through a dreadful crisis. For starters, his second life companion has not resurfaced although she was released from prison a few months ago. He is left alone with two stepsons to look after, which is no bed of roses since the two teens disrespect him and keep disobeying him. To make matters worse, Ryan, the older boy, fascinated by Zac, a dangerous gangster, has accepted to hide his gun in Eric's house. On the other hand, he is asked by Sam, his student daughter who has a newborn baby, to get back in touch with Lily, his separated wife. Now, Eric left her not long after she gave back to their daughter. As a result Eric panics - Having lost all his bearings, Eric Bishop soliloquizes face to the poster of his idol, another Eric, French footballer Eric Cantona, when the latter appears just like the genie out of Aladdin's lamp. Through a series of aphorisms peculiar to him, the footballer-philosopher will help remorse-ridden desperate Eric Bishop to get by.
Leave your thoughts about Looking for Eric.
| Heat MagazineCharles GantCall it Looking For Box Office: king of gritty social realism Loach has made a wonderful feel-good hit. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsFrom director Ken Loach, England's longtime disciple of social realism, comes his most audience-friendly picture yet |
| Unknown2Giles HardieLooking For Eric is a film of three halves, each almost a genre unto itself. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferA tender, wise and uplifting tragicomedy that's concurrently funny, gritty, heartfelt and, above all, honest. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordKen Loach has come up with an upbeat story about a man who is at his wits end with life. |
| At the Movies (Australia)David StrattonDespite strong performances, this is, in the end, minor Loach. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrEric begins this story as a sad-eyed cipher and ends it as a whole man, and maybe that’s structure enough, and reason enough, for one film. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereA slight departure from Loach's usual well-observed kitchen-sink, semi-documentary dramas, the film is a bit elusive at first, featuring an off-putting conceptual oddity. But it recovers about halfway through when the characters and story win you over. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonIn Loach's hands, it has a measure of dignity and it works beautifully. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerWhat Looking For Eric demonstrates is that drama, not comedy, is how Loach makes sense of things. On the other hand, I often find his dramas unremittingly bleak. I guess what I'm really saying is that I'm not a big fan of Ken Loach. |
