The Angels' Share (Ken Loach, 2012)

I don't follow much new releases so I had no idea that Loach has new movie out and went to see it straight away. But was a bit disappointed by this one I’m afraid. 

It's not that it is bad of course, it just feels too lighthearted. Too much like Barrytown Trilogy social drama type of comedy/drama (that English are so brilliant at btw), it just doesn't have that Loach uncompromising edge that grabs you by the throat and doesn't leave you even days after you've seen the movie. 


And it's quite possible I didn't get some of it because it is spoken in Scottish dialect so dialogues were hard to follow sometimes. Will definitely check it again when it comes out on DVD with subtitles.
