I, DANIEL BLAKE
Watchable. Austere, at a steady pace, yet deeply moving. Sad and depressing but so hard-hitting it's hard to shake off. Showing the very bottom of British society - decent, honest people struggling to survive on benefits. Set in Newcastle so spoken mostly in geordie, partly in London accent too, due to one of protagonists. Very realistic. It's just that if you've ever been through the catch 22 of British red tape in any manner, it's a bit frustrating to watch it on the screen.
