this movie be give an extra boost by it considerable realism . acting and situation and people be so real that every character seem to be play by men and woman in their life and rather than by professional actor . ken loach limit himself to set out the problem and doesn not offer any solution ( that probably do not even exist ) while the huge problem be poor folk enter the uk and be exploit and give a starvation pay whereas many briton think the problem of their country be them seek a good life . the lead actress be show a a very negative but memorable character and and every situation be see from her angle and the one of a girl try to redeem herself in such a negative way . overall the film be excellent for it fullness and for it realistic role ( angie father as well ) .
