Chris says: “Ken Loach’s supposed final feature is one of the more socio-politically relevant films you’ll see in these challenging times. Set in a small former mining town on the eve of the 2016 Brexit vote, this takes a fairly straightforward premise (clash between natives and Syrian immigrants) and suffuses it with the humanism and complexity Loach is well-known for. Will likely nominate Dave Turner for lead performance and Elba Mari for breakthrough. Streaming on Kanopy and highly recommended if you’re looking for another watch before nominations. 4.5 cats”
