Review of I, Daniel Blake (2016) by Kevin C — 14 Apr 2017
Movie night with Iris.
Although a long-time fan of Loach, I came to this convinced it would be a party political broadcast and little more. I was wrong. This was up there with Loach's angry best.
The relationship between Daniel and Katie (and her offspring) is genuinely touching. The letterbox scene had me in tears. But there is an unbelievable sequence at the food bank, which ranks as one of the greatest in British film history. I will give no spoilers, but you see human life at it's hungry, desperate lowest ebb. A shattering scene.
