If you can stomach the dark and depressing story, there are some powerful performances from the four central characters, all of whom are new to me.
Haven't seen Doctor Sleep yet Marco (Monday), so easy on the spoilers
No time at all for Ken Loach, total and utter misery guts churning out worthless agitprop on behalf of his fellow champagne socialists and trustafarians. Hasn't done anything worth watching in 30 years, doesn't stop him pontificating though, great man of the people that he pretends to be. He was quite happy to take corporate cash when his brand of miserablilist train crash 'drama' was out of fashion (including McDonalds if I recall correctly) but now of course 'regrets' that. The worst kind of hypocrite, that is, a preachy one.
