Bread and Roses Ratings & Reviews
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Jeff Vice
Loach and a very good cast make it work.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
There's every reason to watch Bread and Roses
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
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.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
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.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Isn't a bad movie, just a painfully obvious one.
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
As didactic as it sometimes gets, its heart is always bigger than its ideology.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
Loach and screenwriter Paul Laverty draw everything in simplistic, overstated terms.
Houston Chronicle
Louis B. Parks
There are many intimate scenes that make the characters of Sam, Rosa and Maya very personal.
Slate
David Edelstein
A tough sell.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
The problem with Ken Loach's half-Spanish, half-English film isn't the lefty politics, it's that the Brit knows nothing about Los Angeles.
Dallas Morning News
Gary Dowell
A stirring and thought-provoking look at some uncomfortable truths that most Americans ignore.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
You won't be able to look through cleaning people again as if they were invisible. On that count, it's a godsend.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Makes a powerfully persuasive case.
Associated Press
David Germain
If you want social commentary but absorbing entertainment, gritty realism but fictionalized whimsy, something for the head but something for the heart, too, Bread and Roses delivers.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Will this movie change anything, or this review make you want to see it? No, probably not. But when you come in tomorrow morning, someone will have emptied your wastebasket.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Desmond Ryan
The film is full of pungent and telling observation.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
It often feels inauthentic, sometimes preachy.
Village Voice
Jessica Winter
Preaches to the choir and overreaches its grasp, but it couldn't be timelier.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
The strength of this vibrant, stirring film is that it doesn't get sidetracked by trying to encompass a love story, and furthermore dares to end on a note that is decidedly bittersweet.
