My Name Is Joe is a slice of life so raw that you can see the blood dripping off it and as in real life it mixes humour, passion, tragedy and violence in equal measure. Joe is a recovering alcoholic and has done a few things in his past which he'd rather forget. Like most people he knows, he's out of work but he keeps sane by coaching the self-styled worst football team in Glasgow. When one of Joe's players, Liam, gets involved with some local gangsters a chain of events is set in motion which not only threatens the lives of those concerned but also comes between Joe's budding love affair with social worker Sarah.

This is possibly Loach's best work ever. An absolutely gripping plot line, fantastic performances from Peter Mullan [Joe], Louise Goodall [Sarah] & Peter McKay [Liam] make the viewer feel a part of poverty-stricken Glasgow. As usual with Loach's films, My Name Is Joe focuses on social injustice, in this case drug/alcohol addiction. Up there with Trainspotting. A must see.
