The Old Oak (15)

Director Ken Loach. Drama


Ken Loach’s latest film follows TJ Ballantyne, a pub landlord in a previously thriving mining community. The Old Oak is the name of his pub, the one community meeting place - and it is in dire need of refurbishment. His regulars are seething with rage, livid at the collapse in house prices and brooding over YouTube videos about immigrants. Then a busload of terrified Syrians arrives in town and the tension gets worse.

Starring Trevor Fox, Debbie Honeywood, Dave Turner


Flicks Advisor (comments from our film promoters)

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

Good film

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
