Scottish brilliance - The Angels' Share review by JD
This film is masterful. In essence a comedy but drawing on despair and hope in equal measure. I was intrigued that the main characters included actors who were previously untrained. The experienced actors must have been a very positive influence on them as the effect is of genuine criminal mentality, poverty and desperation. Not the usual home counties actors putting on dreadful provincial accents. The filming is both beautiful and simple and captures the mood magnificently. For everyone but particularly if you like Scotland.

One of the best films ever made - The Angels' Share review by KH
This is one of the few films I never tire of watching. All the grittiness of ken Loach with humour and redemption. Watch it!
