The TVI Take
2016 Palme d'Or winner. Ken Loach's devastating portrait of a carpenter navigating the British welfare bureaucracy after a heart attack.
Moderate cognitive demands with a straightforward narrative. Exceptional educational value — the film is essentially a documentary on how welfare systems dehumanize the people they're meant to serve. Dave Johns is heartbreaking.
