Film review: The Old Oak tiptoes a line between social drama and agit-prop

That said, Ebla Mari and Dave Turner are excellent together in the main roles

Ebla Mari and Dave Turner in The Old Oak

★★★★☆

The Old Oak (15A) is the name of a pub in an impoverished town in the Northeast of England; more importantly, its proprietor, TJ Ballantyne (Dave Turner), is hewn from the very same timber.
