Movie Reviews

Sky Cinema - 8/10 by Tim EvansThis is at its strongest when celebrating the simple fairness and basic decency of the welfare state and ends on an optimistic note.
Guardian - 8/10 by Peter BradshawThis film reminds us that admiring the health service has become a distinctively patriotic virtue.
Observer (UK) - 8/10 by Philip FrenchA thin, misleading and sentimental account of history, and how we got from there to here.
HeyUGuys - 8/10 by Stefan PapeThe Spirit of '45 is an important piece of cinema to go and see, and one that truly represents the essence of Britain.
Daily Telegraph (UK) - 8/10 by Tim RobeyDemanding balance from a Ken Loach film is a little like wanting a goat to do a handstand.
New Statesman - 8/10 by Ryan GilbeyThat The Spirit of '45 survives its simplifications is due to the sincerity and urgency of Loach's argument. And, regrettably, to its pertinence.
Metro (UK) - 8/10 by Larushka Ivan-ZadehWhat 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.
The Sun (UK) - 6/10 by Alex ZaneThe equivalent of your grandad lecturing you about how things aren't like they used to be.
Empire Magazine - 6/10 by David ParkinsonOften fascinating and impassioned, Loach's doc lapses into polemic towards the end, an understandable side-effect of his granite-strong convictions.
Guardian - 6/10 by Andrew PulverFilms are rarely this committed or, indeed, persuasive.
