Synopsis
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.

The Guardian
It’s fierce, open and angry, unironised and unadorned, about a vital contemporary issue whose implications you somehow don’t hear on the news. - 100
The Hollywood Reporter
A drama of such searing human empathy and quotidian heartbreak that its powerful climactic scenes actually impede your breathing. - 91
The Playlist
As typical as it may sound from the outside, tender and devastating in turn, “Sorry We Missed You” is essential viewing. - 90
Screen Daily
An angry skewering of today’s gig economy as well as a moving drama about a loving family on the verge of implosion which is easily is one of Loach’s very best films. - 90
Variety
Another intimate and powerful drama about what’s going on in people’s everyday lives. ... Loach stages all of this with supreme confidence and flow. - 80
CineVue
Laverty and Loach have created another hard-hitting, powerful film, spiked with humour and moments of rare but profound humanity. - 75
IndieWire
Sorry to Miss You doesn’t break new ground for the filmmaker, but it radiates a timeliness that suggests an old-fashioned Ken Loach lament matters more than ever. - 75
TheWrap
It is not a subtle film, and its bluntness is occasionally potent but just as often wearying.
