Jimmy’s Hall


(Ken Loach/2014/UK)


A tale of revolutionary ideas in rural Ireland, rejected by the status quo in the guise of the Church and the consequences for those involved therein. Unrequited love is thrown into the mix for good measure. I’m not really sure what this film is trying to convey to be honest. Overall it’s a bit facetious, dialogue heavy at times and has a clunky feel good ending, “We’ll remember ya Jimmy!”. Not Loach’s finest hour by a long shot.


(1.5/5)
