Another brilliant film drama by Ken Loach portraying the hardship's of modern day life on the unemployment line in Britain today,superb.

"I am not a client, a customer, nor a service user. "I am not a shirker, a scrounger, a beggar, nor a thief. "I'm not a National Insurance Number or blip on a screen. "I paid my dues, never a penny short, and proud to do so. "I don't tug the forelock, but look my neighbour in the eye and help him if I can. "I don't accept or seek charity. "My name is Daniel Blake. I am a man, not a dog. "As such, I demand my rights. "I demand you treat me with respect. "I, Daniel Blake, am a citizen, "nothing more and nothing less."

A terrifying movie, scarier than your average horror movie, because of how the British government treats poverty-stricken people.

An unforgettable and powerful movie.

The U.K is steadily moving backwards. We are now living it what seems like Victorian times. The rich get richer and well you know the rest.

Powerful social drama which is relatable to anybody who has suffered the indignity of falling pray to 'the system.' I've been there, and I have to say the film does not put a foot wrong. Heartbreaking.

I really enjoyed this. I had minor gripes. The fade-to-black moments were very distracting. The ending as a whole, I didn't care for. I can put all that aside, because I really connected with the characters in this film. I felt their desperation and their compassion. Even the supporting characters were strong. There are a lot of good moments in this one. It's definitely worth a watch.

Side note: Hayley Squires, who plays Katie, totally reminds me of a British Mila Kunis. Couldn't shake that association throughout the whole film.

I work in social services in the US and yeah, the systems are absolutely broken. Bureaucracy run rampant, for sure. I can also tell you that the people working in them are usually as powerless to do anything about it as the people trying to receive services. That being said, there's always a 'Sheila' in the mix. Sheila is just a c**t.

Powerful. Good film. Sad. Reality.
