Eric

Maddie

We went to see the new Ken Loach film, “Looking for Eric” last night. It was really good! You don’t need to be particularly aware of who Eric Cantona is/was to enjoy it but it helps for some of the nuances. Sometimes Loach’s films leave me feeling the message was more important than the characters, but certainly not this one. It was charmingly down to earth but whimsical and the people felt real. Film real to be sure, but still like possible people. Despite being relatively long we were surprised when it was suddenly over. Anyway, we liked it! Go see it if you were thinking you might!
