Like the spirit it celebrates, "The Angel's Share" is a neat little jolt of pleasure - and guaranteed to leave you feeling just a mite warmer. (Newark Star Ledger)
Winner of the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film festival, legendary director Ken Loach, presents an engagingly off-kilter new film. Robbie, a young ne'er do well (Paul Brannigan), a broke new father with a good heart is in serious trouble with the law. When he holds his newborn son for the first time, roguish Robbie is determined that the boy will have a better life, one with more opportunities than he has been offered in this insular, blue collar world. But first Robbie must sort out a variety of pressing problems --his girlfriend's family wants to do him harm and run him out of town being first and foremost among them. He is given a lucky break by a judge who shows mercy, granting him community service instead of jail. Here he meets Rhino, Albert and Mo, former petty criminals also down on their luck.
Unrated, 1 hr. 46 min.

A near-flawless film, beautifully shot and cut, excitingly performed and deeply felt.(Minneapolis Star Tribune)
GINGER & ROSA is an evocative, historical coming-of-age drama about two young girls set in Cold-War era, pre-Beatlemania London. It stars Elle Fanning, Alice Englert, Annette Benning, Christina Hendricks, Oliver Platt and Timothy Spall. London, 1962, two teenage girls - GINGER & ROSA - are inseparable. They skip school together, talk about love, religion and politics and dream of lives bigger than their mothers' domesticity. But the growing threat of nuclear war casts a shadow over their lives. Ginger (Elle Fanning) is drawn to poetry and protest, while Rosa (Alice Englert) shows Ginger how to smoke cigarettes, kiss boys and pray.
Written and Directed by Sally Potter (Orlando)
