This harrowing, classic Ken Loach documentary-style portrait of a life in breakdown makes perfect TV material. Depressing to be sure, but to-the-life portrayals, especially by Sandy Ratcliff and Bill Dean, make it well worthwhile. Extraordinarily realistic, the film is adapted by David Mercer from his play In Two Minds. It may not be the greatest piece of entertainment ever composed, but it certainly will make discerning viewers think.
