    Movie Review. The Old Oak. Ken Loach. Syrian refugees come to live in a dying North England mining town, locals react, some with kindness and charity, others with misplaced anger.

    It’s a Ken Loach fillum innit.

    It’s not entertaining. It’s art. It’s about present day issues and challenges facing everyday Britons and New Britons/war refugees . It’s respectful and understanding of working class people. Never talks down.

    It’s not a fun or happy or exciting experience to watch a Ken Loach movie but I find myself thinking about the scenes and people in his movies, sometimes even years later.

    Watching his movies enriches my life and understanding of people .
