Director Ken Loach
Genres Drama
Run time 100 mins Certificate 15

25th March 2004

This film reverberates with echoes of Glasgow that travel brochures never talk about. Men just like Joe are everywhere and nowhere.

It's hysterically funny at times but the sour-plumes of life are never far from the surface. You will not need sub-titles to understand this film. Just look in Peter Mullan's eyes.
