Carla's Song
1996
***
Director: Ken Loach
Cast: Robert Carlyle, Oyanka Cabezas, Scott Glenn, Salvador Espinoza
A Glasgow bus driver falls in love with a Nicaraguan woman whose home country is in the middle of a bloody civil war. Ken Loach's romantic/political drama is likeable but uneven. The first half in Scotland is funny and the second half in Nicaragua is touching, but the two halves do not produce a very cohesive whole.
