SINCE Ken Loach began directing in 1964, he has been invited to Cannes may times, winning the Palme D’Or twice with The Wind That Shakes the Barley in 2006, and 10 years later with the trenchant and timely I, Daniel Blake.
I caught the debut of his latest, Sorry We Missed You, a powerful, visceral, and passionately lucid film that probes Britain, giving a masterful depiction of a modern working-class family.
Ricky, Abby and their two children are a lovely family who care for each other. Ricky wants a better future for them and decides to sell his wife’s car to buy a van and work as a freelance driver for a big company. However, the conditions of his contract are strict, with all burdens placed on him alone, never shared by his employer.
