Rating: 3/4 --
Whichever side you come down on, Johns' and Squires' low-key performances are impressive, and the technological/red-tape hurdles their characters face feel stingingly accurate.

Johns makes it all bearable. Inviting, even. His performance has such a gentle humanity, even (especially) in the darkest scenes that you can't turn away.

Loach does not need much time or narrative resources to show us how the system seems orchestrated to break the dignity of those who do not have privileges. [Full Review in Spanish]

The emotional impact of the film lies in its raw, documentary feel and the natural performances of Johns and Squires; the dialogue is akin to eavesdropping on real conversations.

Rating: 2/5 --
One can sympathise with Loach's political sensibilities, but this film's shallowness, twee sensibility and transparent polemics make for an unchallenging viewing experience.

[The film] features some stirring performances and a strong sense of place in its depiction of working-class Newcastle.

I've laughed and cried at many a movie. But few have inspired such a violent physical reaction as I, Daniel Blake.
