There is a raw urgency to the film, not to say a disposability, which disavows an egotistical tilt at any kind of long-term artistic legacy. The film is designed—to borrow a phrase from American labor union lore—to educate, and partly to agitate. One even feels that if everyone were to see I, Daniel Blake once, but never again, Loach would be entirely content.
