  Ever relevant Loach.
  
  A great film with all of Loach's trademarks intertwined within it. There's not a lot more to say really! If you like Loach you should enjoy this film.

  Amateurish but good
  
  Has probably used a lot of amateur actors, but overall a very good depiction of the problems that illegal immigrants face when trying to get work.
