Critic Reviews

Very funny and a bit sentimental, it's naturalistic comedy of the highest order, with Evets and Henshaw standouts among a terrific cast.Full Review

Ray Bennett
The Hollywood Reporter

The archival game footage -- Cantona on the field, the roaring crowds -- infuses the film with that high-spirited sense of hope and heart that only a brilliant play when a game is on the line can deliver. Loach, a brilliant player at his own game, delivers the rest.Full Review

Betsy Sharkey
Los Angeles Times

A daring and unstable mlange of styles--working-class realism, deadpan fantasy, shameless buffoonery. At times it falls flat, or fails to rise. More often than not, though, it's a heartbreaker.Full Review

Joe Morgenstern
Wall Street Journal

Eric begins this story as a sad-eyed cipher and ends it as a whole man, and maybe that's structure enough, and reason enough, for one film.Full Review

Ty Burr
Boston Globe

In the engaging Looking for Eric, Loach, the master of British kitchen sink social drama - tries a bit of imaginary whimsy.Full Review
