The Old Oak (15)

Most of our usual movie goers said this was an excellent film. The reason we only scored 8 out of 10 is because of the swearing which offended 10% of the people. I felt the swearing was part of the story and reflective or the emotional charge. Ken Loach did a good job in portraying the situation in a realistic way.

A few of the audience were shocked by the swearing but many agreed that it was a good film and very typical of what was happening around the world.

Good film

Very real, very moving.

This is a film, very much of our time, bringing a number of social issues to the fore. A very engaging film, well received by our audience.

An excellent film. Well portrayed and acted story of communities coming to together and overcoming problems together.

A gritty down to earth film - more of a snapshot of life than a drama but well worth a watch. Some difficult scenes to watch and heartwarming ones.

Gritty, the swearing put some people off others found it very moving. Plenty of food for thought.

Strong film, but balanced in perspective. Does well to tackle themes of poverty and express the importance of charity and community. The profanity in this film is through the roof, but nevertheless authentic

Most people found it very powerful and moving. A few felt it was too much on the side of the Syrians. Very worth watching and good to spark debate
