Full Plot Details

This bitter sweet comedy follows protagonist Robbie as he sneaks into the maternity hospital to visit his young girlfriend Leonie and hold his newborn son Luke for the first time. Overwhelmed by the moment, he swears that Luke will not have the same tragic life he has had. Escaping a prison sentence by the skin of his teeth, he's given one last chance......While serving a community service order, he meets Rhino, Albert and Mo who, like him, find it impossible to find work because of their criminal records. Little did Robbie imagine how turning to drink might change their lives - not cheap fortified wine, but the best malt whiskies in the world. Will it be 'slopping out' for the next twenty years, or a new future with 'Uisge Beatha' the 'Water of Life?' Only the angels know........

Movie Reviews

Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) - 9/10 by John BeifussAs unlikely a fable of redemption as any that Hollywood might deliver, elevated by Loach's insistence on naturalism.
Film Comment Magazine - 9/10 by Max NelsonWith this shaggy-dog tale of four petty Glaswegian criminals and their improbably successful scheme to steal the world's most valuable whiskey, Loach turns naïveté into a sort of moral philosophy.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 9/10 by Steven ReaA lark, but it's a serious-minded lark, addressing issues of class and culture, the haves and have-nots.
USA Today - 9/10 by Claudia PuigBrannigan is terrific as Robbie, and the entire supporting cast is superb.
Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Robin CliffordThis is one of the most likable movies so far this year.
New York Post - 9/10 by Farran Smith NehmeAt age 76, Loach also decided to offer his characters, and audience, some hope — at the bottom of a glass.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Steven BooneLoach's realism always carries a distinct sense of humor, volatility and, most alarmingly in this hypercapitalist new century, a socialist passion for The People.
Oregonian - 9/10 by Grant ButlerAlthough some of the accents are so thick it's difficult to understand the dialogue (where are the subtitles when we need them?) the performances feel genuine.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevyKen Loach's latest Cannes Fest entry is a light, amiable Scottish fable (with dark tones to be sure) about how the discovery of whisky can change one's life.
Washington Examiner - 9/10 by Kelly Jane TorranceThe Angels' Share certainly has elements of a crime caper -- but this rich film is actually so much more.
