    All of Loach's formidable strengths, which include a sense of humor, come together in the wrenching A Fond Kiss.

    For the most part, Paul Laverty's screenplay and the strong, naturalistic performances lend it a specificity that sets it apart.

    Despite the agreeable lead performances, it's one of Loach's more forgettable films.

    Absolutely fantastic. Pure and beautiful. For once a serious approach on the subject. "Nice" catholic priest turning Christianity into a law religion. Formidable players from high to low.… Expand

    Very mainstream for a Ken Loach film - and the male lead was not very convincing - but overall it's an entertaining romantic drama with a twist.
