okay, but not Loach's best. Although, maybe I should reserve judgement - I had the unusual experience of being not able to get my DVD player to show the subtitles!! And there's a lot of Spanish in there :(
Very good, shocking, important film about worker's rights and freedom. It applies to you, me, us , everyone. See this.
with a few Ken Loach features under my belt now, i'm starting to see him as more of an activist that just happens to use film as his medium to make the world a better place, though i still consider him a genius filmmaker. at times "Bread and Roses" seems to border on preaching but Loach is able to create characters that we really care about and keep us enthralled. as with all of Loach's films, the acting is very strong. special mention must go out to Pilar Padilla and Elpidia Carrillo for one scene that is utterly heart-wrenching, and Adrien Brody who is also effective and charming. defnitely worth seeking out.
A pretty intimate story that's got the everyday man triumph flavor of one flew over the cuckoo's nest. Great performances and a powerful message - could have been better with a truly insightful screenplay, but it will trigger emotions for sure.
this changes what you think about jobs in big corporation. about you geting poorer and the rich getting richer.
