The Old Oak (out Nov 30) is the latest (and perhaps final) film of director Ken Loach. It's the story of a small, declining town in Northern England who becomes divided when a large group of Syrian refugees move in. With great casting, it's a film to be admired for astutely capturing the best and worst of the human condition. Grade: B+.
