Bob Williams is a survivor !, 12 October 2001
9/10
Author: boffins from STOCKPORT, England

Raining Stones is a gritty urban tale of life with no money or hope! Bob Williams(Bruce Jones) has to raise the cash for his daughters first communium dress! He's determined to get the best one, which is the dearest, ably followed with his long suffering wife(Julie Brown) and his best mate Tommy (Ricky Tomlinson). From gutting drains to stealing turf and sheep! He struggles to raise the cash and has to visit a loan shark- 'Tansey' , with devastating consequences! Bob's a survivor, but will it all come good in the end?! Another Brilliant film from Ken Loach! 8/10
