Making a female gangmaster the protagonist certainly provides It’s a Free World with a complex and challenging perspective, but ultimately lets the film down as we feel no bond with the immigrants she exploits. It’s a Free World delivers factually, in the way a documentary might, but fails to deliver emotion in the way a drama should.
An opportunity missing 5 out of 10.
