Reviews

"Film Forum’s wide-ranging retrospective, which generously samples Loach’s prolific output from 1967 to the present, offers an opportunity to marvel at the breadth and emotional heft of an audacious career...Viewed en masse, Loach’s movies form a cinema of working-class superheroes, caped in hard-knock resilience."
– Jeannette Catsoulis, The New York Times
