Sorry We Missed You (2019)
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.

‘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, deeply emotional notes. - Jake Watt Read Jake's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-sorry-we-missed-you-an-incisive-look-at-the-struggle-against-debt
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. 8/10
