A bittersweet comedy about a Glasgow boy locked in a family feud who just wants a way out.

When Robbie sneaks into the maternity hospital to visit his young girlfriend Leonie and hold his newborn son Luke for the first time, he is overwhelmed. He swears that Luke will not lead the same stricken life he has led. On community service Robbie meets Rhino, Albert and Mo
for whom, like him, work is little more than a distant dream. Little did Robbie imagine that turning to drink might change their lives – not cheap fortified wine, but the best malt whiskies in the world.

Critic Reviews:

• " The Angels' Share takes Loach's trademark edge and softens it a wee bit . " – Richard Propes(TheInde­pendentCritic­.com)

• " The Angels' Share really conjures the spirit of the Ealing Comedies with its playfulness of spirit and generosity toward its characters. " – PJ Nabarro (Patrick Nabarro)

• " This is far-and-away one of the most lovingly-crafted pieces of British cinema released this year, all the more pleasurable when you acknowledge that it comes from one of our best and longest-serving directors. " – Daniel Green (CineVue)
