I did not have any doubt about a Loach's film shot in USA, the social power and the rest of the elements of his films are there.
The "cleaners" reality, not only in USA, is always the same, they are underpaid and normally without social security services and benefits. This is a beautiful and very sad history about a Mexican girl who wants to find fortune in USA with her sister that is already in Los Angeles. Is well known that power of the unions in USA is not as strong as in Europe and this is the "leit motiv" of the film. A "cleaner" union is starting to be more powerful and the main character, the girl, is trying to convince the rest of the workers of the importance of a union. Then there is a love relation between her and the union leader with the final achievement of their rights.
Rating: 7/10
