- Excerpt: The performances of Turner and Mari carry the film, with the performances of the many supporting roles existing on a continuum from fairly well-round rounded to outright caricature.
- [New] | Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ Spirituality & Practice
- Excerpt: Inspiring story in which a town of unemployed miners and a group of Syrian refugees discover how big is their we.
- Samuel Castro @ El Colombiano [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Cuando se llega a los 88 años, como Ken Loach —dos veces ganador de la Palma de Oro en Cannes y director de “El último bar”, estrenada el jueves pasado en Colombia—, se tiene bastante claro qué tanta fe se puede tener en la humanidad. Sobre todo si uno ha tenido, como él, una conciencia social que terminó convirtiéndose en su estilo, en su marca de autor.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: a fitting capper to Loach’s career…Turner is perfectly cast as the man with empathy…a savvily crafted protagonist whose listening gift as a bartender allows the audience an understanding of the less-than-welcoming locals.

- Excerpt: “The Old Oak” is a grand constructive film of remedy and redemption. It’s a masterpiece of subtle reflection.
