Our take
Working again with his regular screenwriter Paul Laverty, Ken Loach (Kes, I, Daniel Blake) won the Cannes Film Festival’s Jury Prize for The Angels’ Share: an unexpectedly wacky foray into comedy. A buoyantly optimistic caper, balancing conventional, socially-conscious drama with slapstick.
