Synopsis :
JURY PRIZE AT CANNES FILM FESTIVAL 2012
Life can serve up its improbable miracles... Like the birth of a child—in this case, the child for whom the shift- less-yet-resourceful Robbie, a Glaswegian hoodlum, dreams of a better life. Like the chance friendship between four young offenders that kindles Robbie’s sense of solidarity. And like the miracle brought about by Harry, a community service supervisor and tireless do-gooder who sees beyond the ruffian exterior and introduces Robbie to the pleasures of fine whisky. When a cask of priceless malt comes up for auction, the stage is set for a dramatic climax. Loach mixes his trademark social realism with delicious wit as he films his likeable delinquents with insight and empathy. In the wake of Looking for Eric (2009), the peerless master and his faithful screenwriter Paul Laverty reinvent themselves yet again in this feel-good crime caper propelled by the captivating performance of non-pro actor (and reformed offender) Paul Brannigan. Winner of the Jury Prize at this year’s Cannes, it’s distilled Loach at his finest!
