Great to see this one coming!


.. Thank you, Ken Loach, everybody at Sixteen Films and Paul Laverty!

This film, sadly, is VERY much needed in our day and age.

I cannot wait to see it.

But sadly it lacks name actors. Loach almost never works with known faces.

I agree 100%. It will feel like he's made a film about a real family. Loach needs to step up and make interesting films.

I'm surprised this still doesn't have a U.K release date. Oh well, I'm really looking forward to seeing the film, whenever it's released here.

It does now - 21st October 2016

Read this article (link below) published by The Guardian yesterday in which several people are invited to give their opinions of the film, including some who have been, or still are, on benefits.

I felt the comments made by poverty campaigner and journalist, Jack Monroe, are particularly worth repeating. Here is an extract:

"It was hard to sit and watch that film as a piece of entertainment when it felt more like a documentary on my life...

Watching the film is like being asked to revisit some of the darkest moments of my life, condensed into 100 minutes. I’ve been incredibly lucky and successful – I’m working as a journalist now and writing my third book – but three years down the line I still can’t open my own front door if I’m not expecting visitors and I can barely face opening my post. What some people don’t seem to understand is that it really breaks your spirit, it grinds you down and once you’ve hit rock bottom, it lives in you like a darkness and doesn’t go away."

Ah bless.

Time to take a break and swallow your medication and let the other patients finally have a go on the computer!
