A UK delivery driver and his wife fall into the trap of gig economy exploitation.

Why watch this film?

Ken Loach is one of the most sensitive filmmakers to understand human misery from a social and economic point of view. In 'I, Daniel Blake', for example, the English director had already moved with the journey of a man seeking financial aid after his wife's death. Now, in 'Sorry We Missed You', he dives into the phenomenon of the "uberization" of services. To do this, it tells the story of a man who decides to work on his own as a deliveryman. It is real, human and very uncomfortable. But like any Loach film, it makes us reflect on life in society. It makes us think: how far does this false freedom go?
