Leave your thoughts about Versus: The Life and Films of Ken Loach.
| Times (UK)Kate MuirLoach is a man of principle and stubbornness, and he keeps on coming out fighting. |
| The ListHannah McGillA clear-eyed tribute to a unique career, and to the particular decades in British film and politics that it has spanned. |
| Independent (UK)Geoffrey MacnabThis is a timely moment for the release of Osmond's excellent new documentary about British filmmaker Ken Loach. |
| Screen InternationalFionnuala HalliganVersus is as watchable for those who have never seen a Ken Loach film as it is informative for those who think they know him. |
| Observer (UK)Wendy IdeThis is a fitting tribute to a director who has made a career out of telling the stories that most urgently need to be told. |
| Total FilmKevin HarleyThe director's early days are thoroughly detailed here; if his later career is rushed over, an impressive trawl of talking heads (Gabriel Byrne, Cillian Murphy) keeps thing lively. |
| Sunday Times (UK)Edward PorterKen Loach's recent Palme d'Or winner, I, Daniel Blake, has no British release date as yet, but his fans can turn instead to Louise Osmond's documentary Versus, a film that definitely shares their Loach love. |
| Little White LiesDavid JenkinsHardly revelatory, but Ken seems like a nice fellow. |
| CineVueJohn BleasdaleA fitting, if suitably modest and workmanlike, survey of the radical left wing filmmaker and his impressive body of work |
| The Big IssueEdward LawrensonVersus is a smart, respectful portrait of a towering film-maker. |
