I, Daniel Blake is the new film by Ken Loach about a man who recently had a heart attack trying to apply for jobseekers allowance and tries helps a single mum who recently moved.
This is a very well made, slow paced, look at a man's life as he is trying to earn enough money to live. Dave Johns gives an excellent performance of the struggling Daniel, and helps to make him believable in this situation. There is also a strong political theme running through the film that may be lost on viewers outside the UK. However, I think that the themes present in Daniel's struggle will help make audiences outside the UK enjoy watching the film.
In Short: I, Daniel Blake is a excellent depiction of a man struggling to make a living, while deconstructing the job finding process.
I have wrote my Allied review but I am keeping it for now so that my reviews are in chronological order. Also you may have noticed this review was slightly shorter, as will most of my reviews before the Allied review.
