Philip French Guardian Mar 22, 2011
A characteristic Loach film, a gripping conspiracy thriller not unlike Hidden Agenda, his film on the Troubles. Go to Full Review
Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard Mar 18, 2011
4/5
You don't expect Ken Loach to make thrillers, but this one is an angry and relevant film about the perfidies embedded in the Iraq conflict. Go to Full Review
Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) Mar 18, 2011
2/5
The film isn't a write-off, because Loach's simmering rage gives it a sporadic rawness and voltage. Sadly, it also clouds his vision. Go to Full Review
Sarah Manvel Critic's Notebook Aug 9, 2018
No one in this film is stupid or in denial, but some are more open and honest than others. This clear-eyed forthrightness gives Route Irish a backbone many other films lack. Go to Full Review
Tom Clift Moviedex Aug 15, 2011
3.5/5
