Sorry We Missed You | Ratings & Reviews

"Loach’s sense of realism is not fiction masquerading as documentary. Rather, it’s a tool to heighten and underline the withering of his characters. Loach is by now such an expert portrayer of hard-scrabble communities that any whiff of manipulation sinks into the background. What remains is the grit of authenticity, and the rage of injustice."

New Zealand ListenerNew Zealand Listener

"Another powerful rallying cry for the oppressed from one of British cinema's most important voices."

Total FilmTotal Film

"Gritty and raw, only the hardest of hearts won't feel for the Turners and the plight as they try to balance securing their financial future with keeping their family intact."

StuffStuff

"Sorry We Missed You is Loach at his most angry and topical, tackling the "gig economy" of the 2010s much as he and his regular writer Paul Laverty took on Britain's unemployment benefit system in 2016's I, Daniel Blake."

Sydney Morning HeraldSydney Morning Herald

"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."

VarietyVariety

"What’s different is the detail with which Loach and his collaborators examine the effects of work and society on the nuclear family."

Time OutTime Out

"It’s fierce, open and angry, unironised and unadorned, about a vital contemporary issue whose implications you somehow don’t hear on the news."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"“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."

IndieWireIndieWire

"A drama of such searing human empathy and quotidian heartbreak that its powerful climactic scenes actually impede your breathing."
