Entertainment Reviews:
Whilst it shone a light on someone that most people had never heard of is much in Loach's favour it would have been a reacher experience if the film covered more of his life before his departure to New York, there are only a limited flashbacks.

Battle Royale With Cheese
Rating: 2.5/4 --
A great cast along with Loach's trademark realism and capable storytelling deliver a tale of quiet power, with an ending that is sure to deliver of a jolt of righteous outrage.

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Rating: 3.5/4 --
Loach is clearly on Gralton's side, but he's remarkably evenhanded about it. Norton is a formidable villain, while Ward is just vulnerable enough to make the showdown dramatically persuasive.

Seattle Times
Rating: 3/5 --
Barry Ward's handsome, charismatic hero is a romanticised figure (in reality Gralton was middle-aged and balding), which wouldn't matter if his character had been given more depth and shade.

Movie Talk
With a romantic lyricism that never dips into sentimentality, he (Loach) has captured the poetry of populism that has always driven his work.

Ken Loach has fashioned one of his purest and most lovely films here in Jimmy's Hall.

Description by OLDIES.com:
In 1921, Jimmy Gralton's sin was to build a dance hall on a rural crossroads in Ireland on the brink of Civil War. Young people could come to the hall to learn, to argue, to dream... but above all to dance and have fun. As the hall grew in popularity, its socialist and free-spirited reputation brought it to the attention of the church and politicians, who forced Jimmy to flee and the hall to close. A decade later, as Jimmy reintegrates into the community and sees the poverty and growing cultural oppression, the leader and activist within him is stirred. He makes the decision to reopen the hall in the face of whatever trouble it may bring.
