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.

Movie Reviews:
- SWITCH.: ‘Sorry We Missed You’ is a film about family dynamics as much as it is about what we sacrifice as a society for the convenience of next-day home deliveries. It’s in the quiet observation of working-class parents and their children that 83-year-old Ken Loach’s latest film hits its nuanced, deeply emotional notes.
