2024 Nominee BAFTA Film Award Outstanding British Film of the Year: THE OLD OAK
Cannes Film Festival Ken Loach for THE OLD OAK 2023 Nominee Palme d’Or
Graeme Tuckett Stuff-Waikato Times, 4/5 Stars “Ken Loach’s swansong is gorgeous, flawed, relatable and unmissable as ever.”
THE OLD OAK is a special place. Not only is it the last pub standing, but it’s also the only remaining public space where people can meet in a once thriving community.
His predicament is endangered even more when the pub becomes contested territory after the arrival of Syrian refugees who are placed in the village without any notice. In an unlikely friendship TJ meets a curious young Syrian Yara [Ebla Mari] with her camera. Can they find a way for the two communities to understand each other? So unfolds a deeply moving drama about their fragilities and hopes.
