Dir: Ken Loach, UK, 2019, 101 mins

Kris Hitchen, Debbie Honeywood, Rhys Stone

If there’s one thing you can say about Ken Loach (to paraphrase Shakespeare) ‘Age does not wither him’. His latest film about an unemployed builder who takes a parcel delivery job in the gig economy took Cannes by storm, and deservedly so. A powerful film, spiked with humour and moments of rare but profound humanity, it’s in the quiet observation of a frayed couple of working parents and their two children that Loach’s latest achieves real, nuanced emotional engagement.

Shia LaBeouf, Dakota Johnson, Zack Gottsagen

A modern Mark Twain-esque adventure where a small-time fisherman joins forces with Zak, a young man with Down Syndrome, on the run from the nursing home with the dream of becoming a professional wrestler as they sail down the North Carolina coast. A film just packed with effortless charm.
