	Bread and Roses
		The slogan "Bread and Roses" originated in the strike of women textile workers in Lawrence, Massachusetts in 1912.
		The Lawrence textile strike was unprecedented in two ways: it was led primarily by women and it was the first important strike in the United States to bring together working people of 25 different nationalities in a struggle for better wages and working conditions.
		During a protest march, some of the women carried a sign that said, "We Want Bread And Roses Too!" The slogan was generally picked up, and the Lawrence action became known as the Bread and Roses strike.

	Bread and Roses (2001): Reviews
		There's every reason to watch Bread and Roses for what Loach really does best: He involves us directly in the desperate lives of his characters, who are forced to live without security and who have to compromise to make ends meet.
		The reason Bread and Roses works as well as it does is that as didactic as it sometimes gets, its heart is always bigger than its ideology.

	Movie Review - Bread and Roses - Hollywood Bitchslap
		A chronicler of people fighting uphill battles against poverty and social injustice, Loach explores a subject in BREAD AND ROSES that is at once universal in its implications and very specific in its details: the 1999 janitors’ strike in Los Angeles.
		Although BREAD AND ROSES concerns itself with more immediate aspects of the characters’ lives, it’s sobering to contemplate how controversial this concept actually is and how few movies — even those that ostensibly support workplace human rights — really tackles it head-on.
		BREAD certainly has a few moments that are overly on-the-nose, speeches that could be shortened and bits of melodrama, but the set-up is generally convincing and Loach and Laverty create an atmosphere bristling with energy and tension that often allows for surprising humor.

	REVIEW: Loach's "Bread and Roses"
		So what is particularly disappointing about "Bread and Roses," Loach's new Cannes competition work, the first of his movies to be shot in America, is the virtual absence of the qualities and characteristics that make Loach such an essential director.
		As a polemic, "Bread and Roses" functions well enough, making trenchant and necessary points about the profound disadvantages confronting the American labor movement, the nefarious tactics corporations use to divide its workers, but dramatically such inert, one-note material can't possibly be shaped into a compelling narrative.
		Unwittingly or not, with "Bread and Roses," Ken Loach has made the very film he has always loathed: square, imprecise, and nakedly simplistic.
