An extraordinary piece of commentary


In the face of an unforgiving system, I, Daniel Blake is an extraordinary piece of commentary about ordinary people merely trying to survive their everyday lives. With its clinical, straightforward cinematography, the film depicts a bleak representation of reality, which in this case may simply be its purest, most honest, form. Loach remembers the human stories that get lost in the shuffle of systemic rejection, highlighting the simplicity of their lives whilst showing just what makes them superhuman, having to overcome far more than they are given credit for. http://www.cutprintfilm.com/reviews/afi-fest-30-daniel-blake/
