When recovering alcoholic and amateur football manager Joe (Peter Mullan) falls for health worker Sarah, who should know better, they both suspect the romance may be a bad idea, but it blossoms nevertheless. However, the lovers have very different ideas about how to deal with the problems Glaswegian life throws at them, and when Joe is forced to do some drug running to pay off a debt, their tentative relationship is in danger of spluttering to a halt.
A typically fresh and enlightening Loach comedy of misbehaviour in which the humour never risks undermining the serious social commentary, My Name Is Joe's uncompromising conclusion demonstrates that Loach is nowhere near to selling out on his ideals.
Performed in the obligatory slang (subtitled in the States), and told with compassion and Loach's natural flair for getting the best out of actors, My Name Is Joe may be the finest work so far from Britain's most consistently excellent filmmaker.
Possibly Loach's best picture since Kes.
