Movie Reviews

Lybarger Links - 9/10 by Dan LybargerA gripping and occasionally disturbing look at parental sacrifice.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertThe film is good-hearted and the characters are easy to identify with, but what I liked best was the underlying humor, even in this desperate situation.
User Review - 10/10 by Kjell HDen britiske mester-regissoeren Ken Loach har laget filmer fra arbeiderklassen i en mannsalder, og har stukket av med gullpalmen i Cannes mer enn en gang. I "Raining Stones" tillater han seg til og med litt humor. Brilliant film som desverre ikke er saa lett aa faa tak i paa DVD lenger.
User Review - 10/10 by stephen mits ken loachits set in north of england,its brilliant and its life,nough said
User Review - 10/10 by Ian COne of the greatest British flicks ever made. Bruce Jones is quiet remarkable as the unemployed Catholic father hell bent on getting his daughter the best communion dress.
User Review - 10/10 by Daniel GClassic Loach, a tale of working class struggle in post-Thatcher, Conservative-ruled Britain, a place of despairing joblessness and disintegrating community. Despite the unemployment, petty crime and crack that afflict their Lancashire housing estate, Bob (Jones) and wife Anne (Brown) remain staunch Catholics. Bob does odd jobs to put food on the table, but also because he's determined to buy their daughter her communion dress, rather than accept a loan from the priest. He's soon in hock to loan-sharks. Though the subject of Loach's film is as dark as ever, the movie is funnier than Riff-Raff, thanks to another delicious performance from Ricky Tomlinson as Bob's pal Tommy. The gags range from deadpan Northern banter to slapstick and scatology, but they don't overshadow the political acuity of Jim Allen's script , or the narrative's inexorable progress into the stuff of everyday nightmare. This is no rant, but a warm, unsentimental tribute to the working-class spirit. Superbly acted, as always, and a hugely enjoyable example of the cinema of commitment.
User Review - 10/10 by Michael OMy favourite Ken Loach Movie. An emotional rollercoaster ride which tells the story of a man desparately trying to find the money for his Daughters communion outfit. Tansey is possibly one of the nastiest men to hit the silver screen.
User Review - 10/10 by Yasuyuki YThis is reality!! The best movie I've ever seen!!
User Review - 10/10 by Alex BRight from the very (symbolic) start, a brilliant, powerful, funny/sad account of the cost of religion to/for a/the working-class man (not least of all to his soul). Watch it with Killer of Sheep.
User Review - 10/10 by Shaun LMy favourite all time film. I need to say nothing other than this is perfection.
