Description: The relentless churn of the gig economy, a suffocating beast, is the true protagonist of Ken Loach’s devastating ‘Sorry We Missed You.’ This isn't just a film about poverty; it's a visceral experience of its soul-crushing weight, seen through the fractured lens of a working-class family fighting for survival. Loach masterfully paints a portrait of precarious employment, where the relentless pressure to meet impossible deadlines bleeds into every aspect of family life. The film’s power lies not in melodrama, but in its unflinching realism, showcasing the quiet desperation and simmering anger that fester under the surface of daily struggle. We witness the erosion of human connection, the sacrifices made at the altar of corporate greed, and the insidious ways systemic inequalities trap individuals in a cycle of debt and despair. ‘Sorry We Missed You’ is a vital and profoundly moving indictment of modern capitalism, a film that will stay with you long after the credits roll, prompting uncomfortable yet essential self-reflection.
