📖 Synopsis
Daniel Blake is a carpenter from Newcastle who, at 59 years old, suffers a heart attack that prevents him from working. The State denies him the medical benefit he needs and forces him to apply for unemployment benefits, even though he is medically unable to work. Ken Loach filmed in 2016 the most furious and honest chronicle of the bureaucratic cruelty of the British social welfare system under austerity, winning his second Palme d'Or in Cannes.
✍️ Our review
9.2/10
★★★★★
Ken Loach turns state bureaucracy into a form of invisible violence. I, Daniel Blake is the most furious and honest film about structural poverty in recent European cinema. Dave Johns and Hayley Squires: two performances that hurt.
