Looking for Eric

Inden for kitchen sink realism-genren, hvor troværdighed og realisme er nøgleord, er det fatalt, at Looking for Eric virker konstrueret.

Play It Again, Eric... Ken Loach perfectly captures the feeling of football and the need for hope. Touching and hilarious — a blinder.

...is the last film I would have expected from Ken Loach, the great British director of films about working class lives.

...a wispy little comedy that uses fantasy to gloss over even the darkest and most intractable problems.

Det här kräver både sin tid och sitt tålamod men är värt sin tid, en grådisig feelgood-film.
