Rating: 4.5/5 -- Loach does not need much time or narrative resources to show us how the system seems orchestrated to break the dignity of those who do not have privileges. [Full Review in Spanish] Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- Whichever side you come down on, Johns' and Squires' low-key performances are impressive, and the technological/red-tape hurdles their characters face feel stingingly accurate. Full Review

3.5 stars out of 4 -- Loach is nothing if not a humanist, one who sees what should unite us all in times of duress, and this is arguably one of his best and most accessible movies to date.

Rating: 10/10 -- The emotional impact of the film lies in its raw, documentary feel and the natural performances of Johns and Squires; the dialogue is akin to eavesdropping on real conversations. Full Review
