100The film is never less than a satisfying mix of compelling entertainment and social critique. The performances are uniformly superb.
-
80There's every reason to watch Bread and Roses for what Loach really does best: He involves us directly in the desperate lives of his characters, who are forced to live without security and who have to compromise to make ends meet. And, above all, who feel as real as moviemaking allows.
-
60What's somewhat ironic about Bread and Roses is that it's bound to be more interesting to people outside of L.A. than in it.
-
30Its politics and dramatic line are familiar and far from convincing.
