Ken Loach fera ce genre de film quand il sera sénile et qu'il saura plus ce qu'il fait.

Enough cheese here to aggressively choke and gag on til you’re convulsing on your living room floor with tears in your eyes. Nothing and no one nearby to help. Only endless mediocre sea shanties.

Wanted to love this because I’m Cornish and love fisherman’s friends, but it just lacked something for me.
Needed more shanties, less Londoner in love subplot lmao
