It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

I always run the cc's when watching films, but you'll probably need them here. Great characters who were well-casted abound. This was a fun and silly romp.

it is that kind of film who becomes great, step by step, scene by scene for the extraordinary science of scriptwriter and director to discover and preserve the perfect note of story. a film about a trip, a team and a drink. realistic at whole but, for this cause, really fantastic. it is bitter and nice, cruel and fragile definition of life sense. nothing complicated. only, just few decisions. ant important is the obscure, at first sigh, cast, just few people who creates a small universe dimensions , rules and links. John Henshaw and Paul Brannigan are convincing in the skin of characters but the seed of many memories is absolutely crazy art of Gary Maitland to create Albert . must see it !

Ken Loach has a long and prolific history as director of "social realism" dramas that wallow in the depths of British society. So I was taken by surprise when his latest, "The Angels' Share", after an expected, gritty first 30 minutes we spend with Glasgow's finest citizens, develops into a heist comedy and even ends on that feel-good note. Top performances here, especially Paul Brennigan as the violent team leader Robbie, John Henshaw as "Big Harry" who shepherds the delinquents during their community service and gives them their chance, and Siobhan Reilly as Leonie, Robbie's mate and mother of his son, in a small but important role, guiding him into taking responsibility. The story is very fairy-tale like, depending on a lot of lucky coincidences that finally lead Robbie and his three buddies into the Scottish highlands where they manage to pinch four bottles of the most expensive Scotch ever sold - the genius being that nobody will be the wiser about the theft since an uncertain amount of Whisky evaporates over time anyway, the so-called "Angels' Share". Robbie even manages to secure a future for himself, Leonie and his son. So, while this ends on a really sugar-sweet note, there remains a bit of cynic distance - it's a sad world where a promising young man can only escape his pigeonhole in society through a chain of miracles. But that's really a minor gripe. Recommended! btw. I saw this subtitled and was glad about it, the scotch accents are melodic and nice but when tempers rose and the talking got heated I dinnae understand f***.

A very good movie, positive, funny, full of energy and humor as often in Ken Loach. To see in the original version, for the invaluable accent of these Scot alive and kicking in front of what swamps them. A beautiful story. I loved this film and I came out with a light heart. Beautiful story takes a deep humanism, nice trajectory than the young offender who chooses to follow her heart line to grab a bit of trickery with the famous part of the angels who will change his life. Many of the British humor that makes their films tend to "social" is miles away from moralistic impositions that we are served in France. One thinks of Full Monty, we revel in the absurdity of nickel feet when we follow in the highlands, dressed in a kilt. It's just good, fresh, always tasteful, never headlock and perfectly controlled. A delight! A film with emotional ups and downs sometimes funny. It was a real friendship increases and changes in the film the main character. The suspense is present.
