Sorry We Missed You

Based in the UK, Loach has created an astonishing body of work that champions socialist causes and themes while celebrating the lives of everyday people. With his latest film he offers a timely, searing portrait of today’s gig economy and the often razor-thin circumstances of the working class. In Sorry We Missed You, a couple decides to sell the wife’s car so that her husband can buy a van and take a job as a freelance delivery driver. Their already stressful life begins to unravel as the husband struggles to meet the demands of a ruthless manager and a delivery schedule that leaves no margin for error. (102 mins., DCP)
