UK 2019
Dir: Ken Loach
★★★★♡
Hard-hitting drama is a devastating account how a married couple face insurmountable obstacles in bringing up their children whilst they are forced to work under zero-hour contracts. Superb screenplay by Paul Laverty and unflinching performances by a mostly unknown cast. Special mention to Debbie Honeywood who won the Best Actress award at the 2019 Chicago International Film Festival for her role as mother, wife and care worker in trying to keep her family together. A difficult watch but essential viewing.
