I, Daniel Blake's reviews
Media reviews
El Mundo
"A transparent and clear movie (...) the much evidence ruins a perfectly previsible project by every step."
ABC
"A fresh and human drama (...) it is so close to other movies of Loach and Laverty like one hand to the other"
The Hollywood Reporter
"'I, Daniel Blake', is quintessential Loach (...) While the framework and perspective are familiar, the veteran Brit director's films can still have the power to grip us in an emotional chokehold."
The Guardian
"There are shades of Dickens and Orwell in this emphatic drama (...) Loach?s movie offends against the tacitly accepted rules of sophisticated good taste: subtlety, irony and indirection."
Variety
"'I, Daniel Blake' is one of Loach?s finest films, a drama of tender devastation that tells its story with an unblinking neorealist simplicity that goes right back to the plainspoken purity of Vittorio De Sica."
The Wrap
"Standout performances highlight Loach?s occasionally heavy-handed but moving study of working-class struggles"
