The Angel's Share

Scotland    d/ Ken Loach

Done with his signature charm, this was nonetheless another scathing examination of the incredibly violent milieu surrounding young males in Scotland. What in the world is wrong there? Constant threat of beatings or worse dog these characters. The reason given here is that their fathers fought each other so...   So what?

Loach did what he could to sweeten the story and even provided a hollywood ending but it came across as delusional. How many of these young men are going to live happily ever after?
