Sorry We Missed You (Loach, 2019): Genesis Cinema, 6.30pm
This screening includes a Q&A with director Ken Loach.
Chicago Reader review:
An urgent and heart-rending drama, Ken Loach’s 2019 film follows Ricky
(Kris Hitchen), a stoic delivery driver and Abbie (Debbie Honeywood), a
home care nurse. Together, they struggle to make ends meet while trying
to hold their family together, caring for their sensitive young daughter
Liza (Katie Proctor) and rebellious, but ultimately goodhearted, son
Seb (Rhys Stone). Unflinchingly frank, this British-French-Belgian film
can feel stifling at times because of the many injustices Ricky and his
family face. Still, Loach manages to deftly render a tender and complex
portrait of the modern working-class family, dealing honestly with the
cruelties of the gig economy while still managing to find moments of
warmth and laughter in the family’s love for each other.
