After 13 minutes, l notice the story is definitely not my cup of tea : storm inside a cup, the stubbornness of the villagers. The mother seems wiser than the priest. l do not want to waste any more time on this movie. The only part l miss…
I give this 5 stars but for the life of me, I don't understand why these people had to go through so much turmoil. It seems the whole planet is intent on enslaving us to globalist ways. They are the controlling ones and if we…

The latest from director Ken Loach telling the story of Jimmy Gralton. Loach show's his usual empathy for poor people fighting for their rights without ever slipping into 'preaching' or rhetoric in his film.
Gralton was the only…
