      The films triumph lies in the two relationships at its heart: the unlikely rapport between the two Erics, little and big, which is unusual, amusing and affecting. ( Read More )
    • Joseph Jon Lanthier

      Much like the signature kinesthetics of Cantona, the unmistakable, and undeniably perceptive, aesthetics of Loachs best proletariat odes are on display in Looking for Ericeven if those skills appear to be working toward an unsatisfying goal. ( Read More )
    • Mark Adams

      It will intrigue those who are fans of her work and should appeal to festivals and nice arts broadcasters. ( Read More )
    • Sukhdev Sandhu

      In his fifth decade of film making, Ken Loach continues to surprise us. ( Read More )
