i, DANIEL BLAKE



A carpenter for most of his life, Daniel Blake is forced to seek state welfare after suffering a heart attack at 59.  While trudging through an endless maze of red tape, he befriends a young single mother of two stuck in similar circumstances.  A Canne Film Festival winner, the reality of the circumstances  is overwhelming and hits home for many with a health crisis.  Not an action film but one with great acting.  I give it an eight.  Stars Dave Johns, Hayley Squires, and Briana Shann.
