Review of My Name Is Joe

6/10
Another Ken Loach masterpiece.
22 December 2002
I came across this film by accident on video, and I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality. Ken Loach is again at his best using little known or non-actors set in a British working class background. Joe is a reformed alcoholic on the dole in Glasgow, trying to pick his life up again. Loach's vision and understanding of life close to the limit is amazing.

For me, this is a "must see" film.
