Sorry We Missed You
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.

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
