Newcomer Wareing delivers an award-worthy performance as the steely Angie, who is impossible to hate even as she descends deeper into the moral abyss.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star

The film's bleak but powerful ending is a wake-up call to Britain and a measure of the pessimism of Loach, one of its most trenchant critics. I fear things must be really bad over there.
Kamal Al-Solaylee, Globe and Mail

Free World doesna(TM)t need to manufacture tension; its critique of corruption by association is compelling enough.

It's a free world, Ken Loach asserts in his latest film with well-practiced disgust and unfortunately little hope.
