first of all and i think this film quite rightly get the plug it deserve on all of the broadsheet in the uk . this might be partly due to the involvement of ken loach himself but also because it be a rather poignant essay of the one crucial aspect of globalisation the rich country exploit the availability of the cheap labour available from the poorer country . this be not the first of it kind to be do and but this film have sympathy and warmth and objectivity and class and a viable plot . the whole film and however and be carry by kierston wareing and with no real development of other character such a her business partner or even her dad and who both could have highlight the different shade of the argument and perhaps externalise some of the conflict that we all face when we encounter the by product of such exploitation . by this and i mean the cheap strawberry in the supermarket and casual builder and the baristas work behind the various coffee chain and basically all of the other unsung victim who go to subsidise every aspect of our material life . the basic kernel of the film do succeed to some extent in show the different facet of the human character such a sympathy for the individual versus the indifference to the abstract group while highlight the similarity in the trial and tribulation of people in both the host and the wouldonor country while the fact that a lot of people be up for make a quick buck off the suffering of others while and that people exist who will try and be fair to others regardless of their background . however and the reality might not be so clear cut and easily digestible . perhaps not all of the immigrant worker be so docile and placid while perhaps not all immigrant worker be so subservient and accept when the role be reverse and the female become the sexual predator while perhaps not all immigrant worker insist on pass on the favour instead of return it . while it be a noble effort and some effort have be make to highlight the plight of such immigrant and it be still just a snapshot of a much more knotty problem a problem that we be all and to some extent and responsible for . that say and bravo to the fantastic mr. loach for agree to get his hand dirty with such a current and contentious subject .
