Sorry We Missed You makes sure that the habitually unseen take center stage. Thanks to Loach's use of amateur actors, it has a raw and real feel to it without being melodramatic. From peeing in a bottle to save time to seamless monitoring by an overlord hand-held device, Sorry We Missed You manages to capture the indignity and gives you an intimate introduction to the human cost of having everything delivered to your doorstep at a moment's notice. Gig economy workers are usually freelancers who own their trucks and are made fully responsible for packages until they reach their respective recipients. In this case, a struggling family man who tries to turn his life around by working in package delivery. While these are indeed the themes of this affecting drama, Loach always makes it about the people. The British social-critical director of I, Daniel Blake and The Wind That Shakes the Barley, Ken Loach, delivers another scathing indictment of our economic system, the slashing of worker protection, and the gig economy.
