      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Sorry We Missed You may strike some as tending toward the righteously didactic, but director Ken Loach's passionate approach remains effective.

      Charles Bramesco Vox Loach's film does the work of putting their theories into practice, showing how policy decisions made in isolation ripple out into tragedy once they're enacted. Apr 30, 2020 Full Review Ty Burr Boston Globe "Sorry We Missed You" depicts the vise into which many people are forced to put head, hearts, and lives in order to pay the rent and feed their families. Rated: 3/4 Apr 5, 2020 Full Review Ann Hornaday Washington Post This absorbing and ultimately shattering portrayal of the costs of a late-capitalist system obsessed with convenience, efficiency and nanosecond precision couldn't be more timely. Rated: 3/4 Apr 2, 2020 Full Review Paul Kanieski KSQD Community Radio Sorry We Missed You is social conscious filmmaking at its finest. Its empathetic portrayal of the never-ending Sisyphean struggle the less fortunate must endure simply to survive make it a clarion call for change. Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Jane Freebury The Canberra Times (Australia) Sorry We Missed You has that blunt urgency Loach often displays, but his actors are very good, and with this forensic job on the system, he has made his point. Rated: 3/5 Aug 18, 2022 Full Review Victor Pineyro Seventh Art Studio The film's plot is as depressive as its technical feats. Good acting in a movie so humanly dramatic that creates no connection at all. Full review in Spanish Rated: 5/10 Apr 8, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

      Jean-Baptiste N "Sorry, we missed you" is a drama that talks about British uberization. Ricky is the main character, Abby's husband, and the father of the two children. They are poor and they have many others' problems. To solve all that problems Ricky bought a truck even if his family was against that idea and he starts to work as a delivery. As a result, the family situation is deteriorating. The scene that marks me was when the child run away and tag the painting in the stairs. In my opinion this is a good movie, because even if that a drama we can see the love of a father who does everything he can to help them financially at the expense of his family. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/21/22 Full Review Louise L Ken Loach stage a dramatic film with social subjects once again. This film is about a subject that many English people face and that no one talks about. "Sorry we missed you" speaks to us about the evil of today, especially urbanisation and the precariousness of work. In this film the main characters are Ricky and Abby, two parents whose situation is unstable, every unexpected event is a mountain to them. It's an ordinary family trying to exist in a inefficient social system. This movie is a strong and powerful social message, it's a clear moral, we must act. In our opinion, it's an indispensable movie because thousand of people are in the same situation. In fact, it's a realistic scenario. Of course go and watch this movie!!!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/14/22 Full Review fanie g "Sorry we missed you" is a dramatic comedy. Adapted form the book "sorry we missed you" by Suzy Krause. It is an emotional and striking movie. The movie denouces the excesses of uberization and the ravages they can have on the life of a family. We discover it through the Turner's family. The main characters are the members of the family, Ricky the father,his wife Abbie and their children Jane and Seb. This is a precarious family of Newcastle. Ricky has just lost his job and begin a new career as a parcel deliver. He is self-employed which gives him no social protection, he his paid at the stain so he has to work a lot, 14 hours per day and 6 days on 7. The all family is suffering of his time-consuming. The movie takes place in our time to show that these are current problems. In my opinion, this is an interesting movie because it show a current problem through the emotional acting of the actors. But on an other side, it is also a boring movie for me, the scene are verry long because we are in the daily life of a family. If you want to discover this problems that touches some family lets watch "sorry we missed you". Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review candice P This movie is a tragedy, it's an emotional and striking movie. It talks about Ricki's family his wife Deby and theirs childrens, Abby and Sebastian. They didn't have any propertys exept Debbi's car. They wanted to have a better situation so ricki get a new job. He became an independant and work for his own. Their life became more difficult. The scene take place in a town, in their house and in a truck. In my opinion this movie was insteresting because the main characters are complex and sensitive. There is a critic of the independants work condition and a systeme that exhaust workers. We can see Ricki in trouble during all the movie .But it was also borring. There's no a lot of actions and it's a long movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/14/22 Full Review eloise m Sorry we missed you is a dramatic movie. The mains characters are the Turner family who go through social issues. The parents represent the heroes of the movie and embody quotidian life heroes in the society. The kids, go through too because of their parent's economic situation and their disagreement especially the son. The responsible for all this problem is uberisation. Indeed, the father changed his job for delivery, and this difficult job brings tensions. A striking scene is when the son was really angry, and hit his father. It was really chocking. In my opinion this movie talks about an important subject and it's really emotional, however I am not into this kind of realistic movie, and I found it a little bit boring without really actions. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review saliot c This dramatic film directed by Ken Loach tells the story of Nick and Abby Turner, two parents who have to work hard to provide for their family. Nick starts his new job as a package delivery man. Abby, has to go to her patients by bus because they sold her car, to buy Nick's truck. Meanwhile, Sebastian, their son has behavioral problems, and Liza Jane, their daughter has to live in this stressing environnement. This movie spares no character from the hard reality. Personnaly, I found this movie touching because characters are all endearing. The dad wants the happiness of his family, even if sometimes does it badly. The mother, even tough she has to care of eldery people all day long, she is always attentive to the rest of the family. If you like dramatic story, with social realities, I recommend you this film.
