1. Loach's politics are almost as insultingly simplistic as his melodramatic plotting and one-dimensional characters.
2. It often feels inauthentic, sometimes preachy.
3. The entire blend just doesn't jell.
4. Give me a heroine who isn't so egocentric and utterly worthless.
5. Loach is more committed to his message than to his characters.
6. The film is full of pungent and telling observation.
7. You won't be able to look through cleaning people again as if they were invisible. On that count, it's a godsend.
8. Makes a powerfully persuasive case.
9. If you want social commentary but absorbing entertainment, gritty realism but fictionalized whimsy, something for the head but something for the heart, too, Bread and Roses delivers.
10. Will this movie change anything, or this review make you want to see it? No, probably not. But when you come in tomorrow morning, someone will have emptied your wastebasket.

What is a brief summary of the following reviews?
Bread and Roses has powerful moments, but it also sometimes descends into preachiness.
