What people are saying
- SWITCH.★ 8/10
‘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
- AstroNoud★ 8/10
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
