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.
