This kitchen sink drama is based on a true story. Maggie is a troubled mother who is in danger of losing the custody of her four children. Ken Loach aims to tell an emotional story about injustice, and show how the system crushes an individual, but Maggie is so implausibly stupid and unpleasant that it's impossible to feel anything for her.
