This film is somewhere between 3 and 4 stars. I am leaning towards a higher rating because of the added value of the topic of immigration, which is very relevant today, saturated with hysteria and fear of the arrival of barbaric hordes. Ken Loach is well-versed in the field and his film has, I would say, a documentary dimension. It's a Free World... maps the issues of those who have no or only minimal rights and whose position allows them to do no more than take the dirtiest jobs that the inhabitants of wealthy Western Europe despise. Kierston Wareing didn't sit well with me, but ultimately her character is not meant to evoke sympathy, as her heroine is quite self-centered and inconsiderate in her pursuit of success. Overall impression: 70%. ()
