Just watched this masterpiece in the 64th TIFF and a dream came true. Felt like I introduced myself to Ken Loach, a resident of the social realism kingdom and his movie that delves into the hot topic of refugees and asylum seekers, where everything depicted with such an authentic, genuine and heartfelt way, making you feel that you sit in a corner, present and ready to engage with what is going on. Maybe its the most realistic movie Loach ever made, close in comparison with I Daniel Blake (2016), with characters taken from real life and situations very close with some of which each one of us maybe encountered and never took a position on a subject when we should. After watching it you are going to get some of the power of this eternal teenager who goes by the name Ken Loach and find a way to make your community a better place regardless age, color and race. Go for it.
