I must unwillingly give a thumbs down to this film. It isn't actually a delusion per se; It actually might be what people expect these days from a British director, but Loach can and must do better (and, in the past, has done), while this could be a nice "opera prima" for a debutante. For those wishing to have access to a real Loach's good film, I would advice to take "Riff-raff" back from the shelf. It might be ten years old but it's still ten times better either.
