...less dogmatic and milder than most of Loach's work, with a kind of sweet dignity about it

It doesn't really succeed in illustrating the workers' plights in a way that is ultimately sympathetic.

At times "Bread and Roses" looks disingenuous...

Loach's left-leaning social activism is at the service of a potent and touching story

There's every reason to watch Bread and Roses

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 12, 2001

Presents a slice of life that has hardly made a scratch on American celluloid. With any luck, that scratch will help generate a real itch.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 25, 2001

Loach treats [the story] as a late-breaking sidebar to a narrative that essentially amounts to a tract on the glories of unskilled trade unionism.

Isn't a bad movie, just a painfully obvious one.

Loach ... has made his most appealing and involving movie to date with the touching, naturalistic Bread and Roses.
