I, Daniel Blake
UK 2016, 100 minutes
Dir. Ken Loach
Rating: [M] Contains offensive language and adult themes
Genres: Drama
“This powerful parable about the failings of the benefits system avoids irony and cynicism and treats its troubled characters with humour and humanity”
Aroview: Infused with Loach's unique mix of tenderness and political consciousness, this deeply moving Palm d'or winner follows the troubled lives of a 50-something carpenter trying to make ends meet and a struggling single mother-of-two in London.

5 stars (Exceptional) Too few stars available! Should have been on TVNZ already, this gritty moving portrayal of the Kafkaesque "social welfare" system is totally relevant to NZ today. Neither left-wing nor pessimistic, it should be seen by parliamentarians and everyone else ~Sandy
5 stars (Exceptional) ~Regando
5 stars (Exceptional) So true! Every Government Minister should see this film and try to understand the 'Catch-22' situation many unemployed people find themselves in. Will they shed tears while patting their fat wallets? ~Birdwing
