Ken Loach bores the audience with yet more stories of social woes in northern England. This time the film follows a down on his look guy played by Bruce Jones (famous as Les Battersby in Coronation Street, a UK television show) struggling to raise the funds for his beloved daughter's Catholic Church Communion dress. He resorts to any old job he can get some legal some illegal and eventually succombs to the local city loan shark.
What makes me cringe with some of these Loach films are that everyone is made out to be broke yet the evil Tories are living in comfort. Total Communist bull as a Conservative Club caretaker says in the film.
