Ricky and his family have been fighting an uphill struggle against debt since the 2008 financial crash. An opportunity to wrestle back some independence appears with a shiny new van and the chance to run a franchise as a self-employed delivery driver. It's hard work, and his wife's job as a carer is no easier. The family unit is strong but when both are pulled in different directions everything comes to breaking point.

In the genre of 'Misery Porn', file _Sorry We Missed You_ under 'Amateur'. Ken Loach presents us (yet again) with struggling middle class members knee deep in their own shit and subsequently derives sadistic pleasure in slowly adding more and more shit until they all suffocate in their blue collar despair. The end.

Yes, the film is miserable and depressing, but it's supposed to be. This is reality for many, and it's not meant to offer easy viewing. Ken Loach does what he does best, and makes us face the reality that is faced by so many. Watch it, and be a little kinder to the next Amazon delivery guy who comes to your door.

Nothing new in this film among the acclaimed British director's signature elements. The only novelty is the present-day time context. And in a society grappling with technological innovation that disrupts everything with the hypocritical promise of a higher quality of life for all, the themes addressed by Ken Loach become possibly even more acute and pungent. This is _Sorry We Missed You_: a successful slap in the face of a system whose value pillars are destined to fail miserably if not changed at the root. Yet another note of merit (again, nothing new) in the masterful performances of the selected non-professional actors.

The modern "wage" slave life of many, but as far as an entertaining movie it simply isn't. It's an accurate depiction of many people's reality which shows how sh!t life is for many in "first worlds" yet the people continue taking it.

‘Sorry We Missed You’ is a film about family dynamics as much as it is about what we sacrifice as a society for the convenience of next-day home deliveries. It’s in the quiet observation of working-class parents and their children that 83-year-old Ken Loach’s latest film hits its nuanced, de More

Well directed and well acted, ‘Sorry We Missed You’ is a touching and real portrayal of working-class people trying to survive in a cruel system.
