The Old Oak Reviews
indieWire
Sophie Monks Kaufman
Although a lot of the film feels like a breathless box-ticking exercise designed to Include Every Pertinent Fact, the chemistry between Turner and Mari leads to a relationship rarely seen in cinema.
The Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
Compassionate and significant, though a bit facile.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
"The Old Oak" wants to melt our hearts, but for all of Loach's grounded toughness it's the film that winds up going soft.
Slant Magazine
Jake Cole
The film isn't some self-consciously summarizing coda but the latest in a long line of intimately scaled looks at the myriad ills facing Britain's working class.
New York Times
Alissa Wilkinson
In place of magical thinking and a happy ending, "The Old Oak" serves up something harder: a meditation on hope.
Associated Press
Jocelyn Noveck
A poignant and moving coda to a career spent chronicling personal indignities amid broader social ills like poverty and unemployment.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
With The Old Oak, Ken Loach goes out with one last, full-throated call for brotherhood and solidarity. It's the most hopeful the old soldier's been in years.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
It's as engrossing, thoughtful, heartfelt, angry, hopeful, and altogether valuable as his best work. If it is indeed Loach's farewell, it's one hell of a fine note to go out on.
Chicago Reader
Myle Yan Tay
The parallels Loach makes are obvious, but that doesn't make the film any less emotionally potent.
AV Club
Brent Simon
A fine send-off for workhorse British director Ken Loach, this film is a sort of proudly unsexy piece of social realism portraiture whose delicate blend of poignancy and hopefulness mark it as a welcomely mature work for the remaining cineastes who care.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
It's a righteous oeuvre with marvelously strong roots.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Tim Cogshell
Like with all Ken Loach films, reality is at the center of it.
Boston Globe
Odie Henderson
It's a fable that ties up too neatly to be believed, and it's a story I'm tired of hearing.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
a fitting capper to Loach's career...Turner is perfectly cast as the man with empathy...a savvily crafted protagonist whose listening gift as a bartender allows the audience an understanding of the less-than-welcoming locals.
Washington City Paper
Pat Padua
The neat resolution isn't entirely convincing, but the heart of The Old Oak is in the right place.
InSession Film
Nadine Whitney
The final signatures on Loach's long petition for betterment are bold. Hope is not obscene. Hope is what will keep the heart of the United Kingdom beating. Shukran, comrade Loach. The Old Oak is an acorn seeding united growth.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
It is unmistakably a Loach film: taciturn yet forthright, examining life in the cracks of a fractured society with deep compassion, plain-spoken anger and, perhaps more so than in the previous two films, a shot of hope.
Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)
Ty Burr
The final scene of "The Old Oak" reduced me, once again and for the final time, to tears.
Fort Worth Report
Joe Friar
Features first-rate performances by Dave Turner and Ebla Mari, plus gorgeous cinematography by Robbie Ryan. Ken Loach gives us another moving drama with rich characters that we can all relate to in one form or another.
Arts Fuse
Peter Keough
[It's] a reminder that when grief and loss don't bring out the worst in people, they can bring out the best.
