Ken Loach...
The film focuses on Angie, a working class woman who, after being fired by the agency that she works for, decides to set up an agency of her own, running it from her kitchen with her friend Rose. Taking advantage of the desperation of the many foreign immigrants who are flooding the UK, Angie is able to build a successful business extremely quickly.
Despite Rose's misgivings, Angie becomes increasingly eager to build the business, regardless of the potential legal risks of obtaining forged British passports for illegal immigrants and working without a licence for the first few months of the business.
As you'd expect from Loach there's tons of gritty realism here, filmed in a style which plays out like a documentary, showing the impact these immigrants are having on the UK and the devastating future that they are creating. -
MCT:November 21, 2007It's a typical Ken Loach's movie. At the end you never know what to say, and you always fell disappointed and confused...

MCT:November 19, 2007a bit of a disappointment as i've come to expect a lot from a Ken Loach film. lacked the poignancy that's associated with his work, definitely a step down from "The Wind That Shakes the Barley. despite a good turn from Kierston Wareing, it's hard to sympathize with her character who exploits others in the same or a worse situation than her. as with all Loach's films, still has a few interesting things to say and is worth a look.

There is a fundamental difference in the concept of Capitalism these days: indeed in different levels of the society, everyone is exploiting the lower ones arbitrarily! It means that the central processing system has lost the control over its little, deserted parts, but the main concept is going on! Thus female exploiters can come to the limelight in IT?S A FREE WORLD, a requiem for all illegal immigrants searching for a job in Western countries! Good narrative + powerful performances + deep survey in a modern dilemma + conducting of a maestro!
