★★★★★
‘A tough yet tender and beautifully crafted human drama that more than earns those Ken Loach comparisons.’ — Guy Lodge, Empire
★★★★★
‘The filmmaking is fluid and electric; the acting, precise; the archetypal storytelling, seamless and brutal. What happens in The Golden Dream might enrage audiences, and probably for a variety of reasons. But there’s no getting away without it leaving a mark.’ — John Anderson, Wall Street Journal
