What critics compared Land and Freedom to
But when he's good and sticks very close to the ground he's capable of great films, such as Kes, Land and Freedom or My Name Is Joe .
Ken Loach's ("Poor Cow"/"Kes"/"Land and Freedom") neo-realism drama Sweet Sixteen is a simple and familiar modern urban story about a boy determined to have a normal life despite his unfortunate circumstances.
Loach's best films -- "Kes," "Raining Stones," "Land and Freedom" -- play like he's somehow convinced reality itself to pitch in and make his points for him.
