Poor Cow - 1967 - 6/10
Working class drama of Joy, her poor choices, and the men who drift in and out of her orbit.
Preggers and wed by 18, Joy’s husband is an abusive yob.
At least when he is sent to prison, a mate of his turns up, and he is a kinder, gentler sort.
More or less … until the Law catches up with him as well.
Dreary throughout, yet the characters are easy to relate with, especially if your life has bad decisions.
Debut film by Ken Loach lays down a career template.
