Maybe the best Film of Loach
This is one of the best if not the best one between Loach films.
Realistic,very good directed,makes you forget that you are watching a fiction,and how can be fiction when the story is a real part of modern life.
The biggest success of the film is that focus into the lives of both immigrants and local western people.Shows clearly how capitalism,imperialism,sexism affects evrybody's life.The desperation is present as the main motive for surviving,and this is isnt going only to immigrants but is also clear in Angie's life.
I found only some minor faults in direction,like london was constantly shine in the whole movie to help Angie riding her motorcycle,it rained only once if i remember right.
I've seen that many comments are negative about this film and i find this very strange,it is by far one strong real film that gives a kick in the belly for anyone who has the mental ability to recognize in this scenario important elements of the modern world.
