Sorry We Missed You - Film Festival 2019

Ken Loach has brought us lots of movies showing social realism.  This is not the world of botoxed 20 year olds driving land rovers and living in million dollar houses that are over represented on our tv screens.  Instead we get to meet Ricky and Abbie who are trying to raise their two children and keep a roof over their heads.  They work jobs where zero hour contracts rule, which leaves them working 6 days a week and 16 hour days on minimum wage. Ut left me wanting more - more real stories.  4/5

Those are tough ones for me to watch, simply because I use watching movies sa an escape from real life, not a reinforcement of it.
