"Sorry We Missed You" wants to explore the two dimensions of work and family. Although the characterization of the film is vivid and the mutual dependence between family members can also empathize, the tragedy seems a bit fussy. The core contradiction in the movie is that no matter how unwell the body is or what the family situation is, you must arrive on time. This is not typical for Chinese audiences. Ken Loach's movies always reveal why they don’t eat meat. Hypocritical. The film seems to contrast the coldness of capitalist society through the warmth of family members, but when criticizing capitalism, the criticism is too general, and it does not dig deep into contradictions. It simply blames the delicate family relationship on excessive labor. Somewhat arbitrary. In Ken Loach's movies, the tragedies that lead to the bottom of the people may be diverse. Families, groups, society and individuals are all important elements that affect the fate of the protagonist. The accusation in "Sorry We Missed You" is the cruel exploitation of labor by capitalism.
"Sorry We Missed You" is rich in details, the film changes drastically, the narrative process uses a lot of light and shadow, and the actors also have more interactions, making the content of the whole film more dramatic. Although some views on political issues cast a shadow on the audience's emotions, but about this, it is more only for a moment.
"Sorry We Missed You" is an intimate and powerful drama about what happens in everyday life-not only in England, but all over the world. The director completes all these tasks in an extremely confident and fluid way, making "Sorry We Missed You" a movie full of shock, touch and excitement. The message of the film is that life is still going on, and so is work.
