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

Loach in this mode is frankly a "message" director and there are all the usual things to be said against such an approach: that his characters are counters first and people second, and that he rigs the game. But he does all this on a high level. Dec 18, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Loach, clearly still buzzing from the success of I, Daniel Blake, is having the time of his life. Don't miss this. You'll be sorry if you do. Nov 3, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Ryan gives a glow, texture and depth to people's faces that are almost Bergmanesque. His work is compassionate even when unsparing. Oct 30, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Bleak even by Loach's no-guff standards, but it kicks like a mule. Sep 11, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

As a stripped-down, minutely detailed portrait of the daily grind as back-breaking Sisyphean ordeal, "Sorry We Missed You" is engrossing and bluntly persuasive. May 19, 2019 | Full Review…

The film's tragedy is that no amount of love and goodwill can save us when the cards are so horribly stacked against us. May 19, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

This is a film that is both urgent in its message about the deceptive nature of the gig economy which has turned workers into modern-day slaves, and shattering in its portrayal of people on the margins. Jan 19, 2020 | Full Review…

Scenes where Abbie goes to enormous trouble to help a series of elderly and infirm types, all portrayed by non-actors, are quietly powerful and distressing anyway. Jan 3, 2020 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…

Like many of Loach's films, Sorry We Missed You is stark and spare. He doesn't rely on visual flourishes, instead putting the onus on the power behind the performances and the story. Dec 23, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

It's a gloomy picture, but the film's criticism of economic injustice is not the only take away. Laverty's script contains a touch of humanist moralism, too. Dec 23, 2019 | Full Review…

Director Ken Loach has been flying the underdog flag for a staggering 52 years. And bless him, he still cares as fiercely as ever. Dec 22, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
