Winner of the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film festival, legendary director Ken Loach , one of Britain's most distinguished and respected filmmakers, who makes tough, uncompromising films about a beleaguered working class with poetry and humor, and longtime writing partner Paul Laverty (The Wind that Shakes the Barley, Bread and Roses and My Name is Joe), present an engagingly off-kilter new film, The Angels' Share. Robbie, a young ne'er do well (Paul Brannigan), a broke new father with a good heart is in serious trouble with the law. When he holds his newborn son for the first time, roguish Robbie is determined that the boy will have a better life, one with more opportunities than he has been offered in this insular, blue collar world. But first Robbie must sort out a variety of pressing problems --his girlfriend's family wants to do him harm and run him out of town being first and foremost among them. He is given a lucky break by a judge who shows mercy, granting him community service instead of jail. Here he meets Rhino, Albert and Mo, former petty criminals also down on their luck.

New Trailer For The Angels' Share
Review For The Angels' Share
[Ken Loach] and his longtime screenwriter, Paul Laverty, find a good balance between drama and wacky character moments.J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader
A lark, but it's a serious-minded lark, addressing issues of class and culture, the haves and have-nots.
Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer
Charming enough to satisfy even the trenchant-commentary crowd.
Tom Russo-Boston Globe
The plot thickens, but the mood grows lighter.
Claudia Puig-USA Today
Unexpectedly, and blithely, amusing.
John Anderson-Newsday
The film itself vaporizes before your eyes, but it's likable. Given its unstable mishmash of thuggery and whimsy, that's something of an achievement.
Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor
The title, by the way, refers to the distillation process: the 2% of whisky that evaporates in the barrel is known as "the angel's share." I'm afraid there's more than 2% evaporation going on in Loach's latest.
Leah Churner-Austin Chronicle
Much like a stiff drink at the end of a long day, "The Angels' Share" gets the job done, but you're probably not going to remember it in the morning.
Mathew DeKinder-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Loach's realism lends an easygoing, ramshackle quality to the film that smoothes over any lack of tightness.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Common Sense Media
Director Ken Loach's latest glimpse of the U.K. underclass is really two rather different movies, either of which I would've enjoyed on their own. But they don't really fit together in any satisfying or even logical way.
Christopher Lloyd-Sarasota Herald-Tribune
A fairy tale with its feet firmly on the ground.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Whether Robbie pulls off his caper should be left for the audience to discover. But Loach's great cinematic switcheroo goes off almost without a hitch.
Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI)
As heartwarming and uplifting as any tale could be that features vicious beatings and grand larceny.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express
While it has some likable characters, particularly its charismatic lead, it's impossible to shake the feeling that we've seen this movie before.
Brian Tallerico-HollywoodChicago.com
Lead actor Paul Brannigan, the product of Glasgow's working-class East End, is a natural.
James Verniere-Boston Herald
The usual Loachian elements are all in place, but there is a gentle spirit at work here as well, and not just the alcoholic spirits around which the plot revolves.
Andrea Chase-Killer Movie Reviews
The Angels' Share is a stellar bit of activist cinema with a light touch.
Annlee Ellingson-Paste Magazine
Sweet-natured and high-spirited, it's a fanciful fable with a wee dash of magical realism.
Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate
This is one of the most likable movies so far this year.
Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews
Although the English director Ken Loach has been making socially conscious movies for close to 50 years, this shaggy comedy unfolds like the work of a young man on a lark.
Craig Seligman-Bloomberg News
