A movie about survival in changing times, and about the value of common courtesy and of helping one another. It is a movie that will make you feel sad, angry, possibly scared. Yet all of this is tinged with warmth and even a bit of humour. The superb writing, characterizations, acting and direction elevate it to becoming a highly moving experience.

I like Ken Loach but I'm not sure how much this movie added to anything. It plays out exactly as you imagine from the description, though when it started getting tiring with the old man's experience (that's the point) it gets rejuvenated with the addition of the family. The ending was too dramatic and unnecessary. UK cities in films are always so bleak. Fav scene: it was telegraphed a mile away, but Dave Johns' absolute heartbreak over seeing Hayley Squires as an escort was tragically heartfelt.

Good Time made the same point in its first 10 minutes. This is still pretty good though. Loach the king of weaponizing dry filmmaking to make his point

Certainly one of the saddest films that I've seen - as the viewer you are overwhelmed with hopelessness - and a scathing critique of the social security benefits system in the UK. The term 'Kafkaesque' comes to mind, but that falls far short of describing the true heartlessness of the 'system'. The world needs more people like Daniel Blake.

Given the very real nature of the issues the film grappled with, this story really tugged at the heartstrings. The pace, the vignettes of hardship, the relationships bringing out the character of the protaganist, all created a sense of depth to the story. At times perhaps feeling a little too pointed. The two scenes which impressed me were the single mother's breakdown in the food bank, and the end. The end was messy and abrupt, but true to life in that way. Snapshot into heartless bureaucracy.

A beautiful but punishing northern kitchen-sink drama which wrenches the heartstrings with its sympathetic titular character and his hopeless fight against circumstance and authorities. Great job by Dave Johns, he carried the film. Realism with an iota of poetic license - Loach delivers his typical formula again but its the clearest he has ever put his message across. Likely to be required viewing in social studies classes of the future.

This is a hard hitting contemporary social drama film set in England. A sobering watch with good performances, I'd recommend this.
