"Ken Loach's tough, honest and sometimes achingly funny comedy about a nonunion construction worker in London…..Mr. Loach has been turning out socially and politically committed films and documentaries since 1967.......... Of his later films, "The Gamekeeper" (1980) and "Singing the Blues in Red" (1986) have been the most interesting. Now comes "Riffraff," a movie full of an exuberance that has not been apparent before. It's his best work to date."
