"5.5. 2024 Ken Loach is known for supporting forgotten and oppressed people and "I, Daniel Blake" is no exception. It tells about an aged carpenter who survives a heart attack and the society that he has served for several decades betrays him when he needs help the most. Bureaucracy is merely interested in upholding the unnecessarily complex system while treating people as if they were nothing more than just numbers in statistics."

" Notes: I have been faithfully following Ken Loach for more than 20 years and, to be honest, I has been a while that the guy delivered something so impressive.

"A hard hitting, raw and honest look at how the British system is failing it's own people. Daniel Blake is a middle-aged carpenter who's taken a few recent knocks, one of which is suffering a heart-attack and deemed not able to return to work. It's a position no one would want to be in, forced to sacrifice your own health or lose everything you have worked so hard for. The viewer gets to witness the hurdles that seem purposely put there to hinder payments. How are people such as Daniel Blake su"
“Since I kept hearing some really good things about this flick (it even won the prestigious Golden Palm at the Cannes Film Festival), I was really eager to check it out. Well, I have been faithfully following Ken Loach for more than 20 years and, to be honest, I has been a while that the guy delivered something so impressive. Indeed, Loach managed to deliver one of his best movies which was rather unexpected as many including myself thought that his best movies were already behind him. Anyway, once again, he gave us another socially relevant and really powerful tale and, in this case, it was even more heartbreaking as it all felt terribly familiar. Indeed, my wife has been terribly ill for already 8 years and, even though we live in the Netherlands and not in the UK, she had to face the s” read more
