Review of Jimmy's Hall (2014)

By Graham Fuller (154) for New York Daily News (5,623) on 01 Jul 2015

This companion piece to Loach’s 2006 drama “The Wind That Shakes the Barley” tenderly conveys the generosity of working people…

Review of Jimmy's Hall (2014)

By Vadim Rizov (155) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 01 Jul 2015

If this is, as he claims, indeed his last film (or at least last big narrative feature), he’s retiring with the courage of his convictions…

Review of Jimmy's Hall (2014)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 01 Jul 2015

Loach never lets the good times get too good, so the tone never sways too far…

Review of Jimmy's Hall (2014)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for AV Club (2,778) on 01 Jul 2015

Jimmy’s Hall is one of [Loach's] clunkers: Footloose set in 1930s Ireland, basically, with jazz in lieu of Kenny Loggins…

Review of Jimmy's Hall (2014)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for Blu-ray.com (2,093) on 30 Jun 2015

An unexpectedly illuminated feature from Loach, who isolates a range of emotions and impulses that deepen characterization, making the battle…

Review of Jimmy's Hall (2014)

By Erica Abeel (109) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 30 Jun 2015

A lovely addition to Ken Loach's cinema of working-class heroes, this true story of Irish agitator James Gralton is intelligent, gorgeously…

Review of Jimmy's Hall (2014)

By Dan Schindel (235) for Movie Mezzanine (782) on 30 Jun 2015

It's this year's Pride; a movie about social movements that you can take your conservative parents to…

Review of Jimmy's Hall (2014)

By Farran Smith Nehme (295) for New York Post (6,650) on 29 Jun 2015

As lovely as Jimmy’s Hall is, Paul Laverty’s script is not so much talky as speech-y…

Review of Jimmy's Hall (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 26 Jun 2015

Ken Loach's staging is so calm and sober that it turns his story into an expertly photographed yet weirdly remote rebellion tale…

Review of Jimmy's Hall (2014)

By Bob Strauss (787) for Los Angeles Daily News (1,272) on 18 Jun 2015

The result is a smart and occasionally mirthful spit in the face of Catholic repression, with dancing, fighting and just enough political tragedy…

Review of Jimmy's Hall (2014)

By Chris Barsanti (896) for Film Racket (579) on 10 Jun 2015

there's a bright and touching sincerity running throughout that makes [its] wandering stodginess not matter so much…

Review of Jimmy's Hall (2014)

By Prairie Miller (985) for Critical Women (23) on 25 Apr 2015

There are inspiring socio-political episodes throughout Jimmy's Hall, as relevant today as back then…

Review of Jimmy's Hall (2014)

By David Stratton (799) for At the Movies (Australia) (716) on 26 Nov 2014

In a way this is Loach-lite; it's a decent, concerned film but perhaps a little too pat and a little too familiar, though it's beautifully made…

Review of Jimmy's Hall (2014)

By Louise Keller (804) for Urban Cinefile (2,850) on 23 Nov 2014

The peaceful Irish setting is a sharp contrast to the fiery passions that rage in Ken Loach's film about civil liberties and free speech…

Review of Jimmy's Hall (2014)

By Kent Turner (504) for Film-Forward.com (768) on 08 Jul 2014

There are vibrant issues here, but Paul Laverty's screenplay never gives the characters more than one dimension. They're stifled as debating points…

Review of Jimmy's Hall (2014)

By David Jenkins (910) for Little White Lies (3,136) on 04 Jun 2014

This (possible) swansong from Brit veteran Ken Loach contains some of his finest work in years…

Review of Jimmy's Hall (2014)

By Hilary A White (243) for Sunday Independent (Ireland) (504) on 04 Jun 2014

Unlike The Wind That Shakes The Barley, Loach's trademarks miss their targets…

Review of Jimmy's Hall (2014)

By Chris Fyvie (70) for The Skinny (809) on 03 Jun 2014

A really delightful dramatic swan song for Loach, should he stick to his tragic threat of retirement…

Review of Jimmy's Hall (2014)

By David James (58) for We Got This Covered (2,391) on 01 Jun 2014

T's been rumoured that Jimmy's Hall is Ken Loach's swan song, and if it is, it's definitely an inspiring note to go out on…

Review of Jimmy's Hall (2014)

By James Mottram (656) for Total Film (3,532) on 31 May 2014

If it proves to be Loach's swan song, it's a graceful note to bow out on…
