Reviews for this film from our members:
- Marco Albanese @ Stanze di Cinema [Italian]
- Excerpt: Godibile e leggero, rappresenta nel concorso di quest’anno una piacevole eccezione, che avra’ certamente successo anche in sala, nonostante non ci siano attori noti, ma stupendi caratteristi e volti strappati alla strada.
- Chris Barsanti @ Film Journal International
- Excerpt: …has charm aplenty, but suffers from occasional portions of cheese and a hard-to-swallow premise (whisky-tasting as gateway to a better life).
- David Bax @ Battleship Pretension
- Excerpt: The Angels’ Share, at its halfway point, is shaping up to be an inspiring, political tale of a young man living a blighted life in a blighted neighborhood finding the confidence to assert himself and his place in the same world as the moneyed. Where it winds up, though, is as a slight and predictable heartwarmer presented in far too neat a package for Loach’s sensibilities.

- Excerpt: Sin perder sus principios de siempre, Ken Loach nos cuenta una fábula contemporánea e inglesa con final feliz
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Loach films have been funny while making their point before (see “Riff Raff”), but this one is imbued with a little bit of magic (one late scene comically invokes the Sword in the Stone). Those offended by four letter words should be warned that even the voice of God slings a heavy dose of them here.

- Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: Sweet-natured and high-spirited, it’s a fanciful fable with a wee dash of magical realism.
