The Old Oak is a 2023 drama film directed by Ken Loach and written by Paul Laverty.

Pub landlord TJ Ballantyne, living in a previously thriving mining community in County Durham, struggles to hold onto his pub and keep it as the one remaining public space where people can meet in the town.

Loach, who turned 87 prior to its release, told The Hollywood Reporter it would "probably" be his last film.

The site's critics consensus read: "Imbued with the fiercely humanistic spirit that has defined Ken Loach's filmography, The Old Oak serves as a fitting -- albeit somewhat sentimental -- finale to a remarkable career.

"[19] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 69 out of 100, based on 23 critics, indicating "generally favourable" reviews.
