Ken Loach's New Film 'I, Daniel Blake' Reduced Cannes Film Festival Critics To Tears 'The most vulnerable people are told their poverty is their own fault'. Peter Bradshaw's film of the week I, Daniel Blake review – Ken Loach's quiet rage against injustice. Kafkaesque new rules, disability allowance, especially now it’s all “digital by default”. At the Jobcentre Plus, he meets young single mum Katie (Hayley Squires) and her two kids, freshly arrived in Newcastle after two years banged up in a single room in a homeless hostel in London — “they’re moving out the likes of me” — and helps them, fixing up their new home and accompanying them to the food bank, where Katie is so ravenous she eats from a tin with her hands. Her only choice is to go on the game, while he has to sell his furniture. Inevitably, the system destroys sweetheart Dan, and we know that his benefits appeal is not going to go well, despite Katie’s support. At his pauper’s funeral, Katie reads out what he would have said in his own defence: “I’m a man, not a dog.. I, Daniel Blake, am a citizen, nothing more, nothing less.” Subtitled in English here for those not from Tyneside, I, Daniel Blake could usefully be shown on continuous loop to those would- be immigrants who persist in viewing this country as a land of Cockaigne. When Jeremy Corbyn catches it, it will be his favourite film ever. Follow Going Out on Facebook and on Twitter @ESgoingout.
