Versus: The Life and Films of Ken Loach (12A)
Directed by Louise Osmond
4/5
DESCRIBED as one of the most subversive left-wing directors in this country — and a gentleman by one of his friends and producers — this new documentary is a wonderfully insightful yet provocative look at the life and 50-year-long career of Ken Loach.
Fast approaching 80 and triumphant from his Palme d’Or win at this year’s Cannes film festival for I, Daniel Blake, there is no stopping Loach.
