Movie Critics (823 KP) rated I, Daniel Blake (2016) in Movies
May 26, 2017
This is a disturbing film that many audiences will find confronting, particularly those who think they live in a caring society that supports people in need. The pace is slow and the dialogue often terse, but that’s how life is at the bottom.

Poignant but slow
This is rather a depressing account about how families and communities attempt to deal with the case of a missing person. In this instance it is about how society moves on with their lives leaving behind the families to deal with it. it is well written with beautiful descriptions but it tends to be quite a slow burner.

Will she, won’t she, who cares
I’ve read a lot of dystopian society and this one didn’t do it for me. Granted, I read it a while ago, but it’s always stuck with me as a flop for the genre. The world isn’t compelling and the main conflict is which boy do I want to be with: mystery or certainty.

A good young cast, including a very young Paul Walker. It's a decent conspiracy thriller about a secret society that picks the best students from the top universities. After a friends apparent suicide on campus though, is there more to this elite group. It's entertaining, and has a strong cast line up, locations and action. If you like thrillers check this out.

Powerful
Holy pickles! We read this book for our book club and all of us were blown away by the sheer rawness of it. This is an extremely emotional and powerful book. It definitely made us uncomfortable but we all thought that was the point. It made us think about society and our (and society's) viewpoints towards certain groups of people.

Beware of the Sugar Bowl
This is a great book! I read it in one of my college lit classes, and fell in love with Shirley Jackson's writing. I can't give a review without spoiling this whole book but it is so worth the read. It deals a lot with mental illness and the affects of a society on outcasts.

WOW!
I fi ished The Hate U Give on Christmas Eve after it say on my bookshelf for a year! I'm so glad I picked it up as it has been one of my favourite books I've read in 2019.
Very detailed and inspirational piece of writing. It really makes you think about violence and race crime in our society today.

Dark, but necessary
When Society throws out the people who don't fit the mold, action/reaction! This film was a dramatic reflection of real life. The poor and mentally impaired are considered as bad as the trash piling up on the streets. The rich make the rules. Eventually, someone does snap and sparks a revolution.
