Old Oak, The (2023)

  • Loach, Ken
  • 2023, Ken Loach, UK
  • 2 Comments

Xenophobia is fought gallantly through empathy and solidarity with the marginalised as Syrian refugees find new homes in Northeast England, in Loachโ€™s exceptional and emotionally-stirring swansong.

Poor Cow (1967)

Carol Whiteโ€™s excellent performance as a young working-class woman in Ken Loachโ€™s first feature gives us a taste of late โ€˜60s UK and what it feels like to suffer from the misdeeds of men.

Sorry We Missed You (2019)

  • Loach, Ken

Ken Loachโ€™s take on the perils and false hopes of the gig economy is at once heartbreaking and angry.

I, Daniel Blake (2016)

A tremendously urgent social realist work with a strong emotional core, blessed by Loachโ€™s unadulterated approach to simplicity. ย

Land and Freedom (1995)

  • Loach, Ken
  • 1995, Ken Loach, Spain, UK

Loach tackles the Spanish Civil War with aplomb in this unique war film that is not about war itself but the battle of ideals and minds.

Kes (1970)

  • Criterion Collection, Loach, Ken
  • 1970, Ken Loach, UK
  • 3 Comments

Arguably Ken Loachโ€™s masterpiece of 1970s British working-class social realism, with an absolutely stunning performance by the 14-year old non-professional actor David Bradley.
