PROCTOR: (As Liza Turner) Ah, that's the third tip. HITCHEN: (As Ricky Turner) See you, bye-bye. UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR: (As character) Here, get yourself some sweets on the way. UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR: (As character) Are you helping your dad? Say, when Liza spends a Saturday hitting the road with her dad on deliveries. But in "Sorry We Missed You," the filmmakers and their terrific cast find upbeat moments to counter the gloom. MONDELLO: Director Ken Loach and screenwriter Paul Laverty have explored these kinds of pressures in their other films together - tales of pensioners fighting bureaucracy, workers treated like cogs in a machine. HITCHEN: (As Ricky Turner) I want to be better for you.

STONE: (As Sebastian Turner) Do you really think I want that? STONE: (As Sebastian Turner) What? - like you? Otherwise, you're just going to end up like - well, I don't know. HITCHEN: (As Ricky Turner) Well, there is if you just knuckle down. STONE: (As Sebastian Turner) Good jobs - what good jobs? HITCHEN: (As Ricky Turner) It don't have to be like that, does it? There's some good jobs out there. RHYS STONE: (As Sebastian Turner) What? - and be like Harpoon's brother? Fifty-seven grand in debt, getting smashed every weekend just to forget his problems. HONEYWOOD: (As Abbie Turner) Seb, we've talked about this. HITCHEN: (As Ricky Turner) They sent a letter about it last month, Seb (ph). And no time for the kids - 11-year-old Liza, who's so stressed by her parents' stress that she's wet the bed, her older brother Sebastian, who leaves the apartment each morning backpack filled not with books but with spray paint for graffiti college and studying the furthest thing from his mind. MONDELLO: So sell the car, get the van and let the realities hit - traffic, parking tickets, wrong addresses, dogs, one-hour delivery windows, two-minute meal breaks. HITCHEN: (As Ricky Turner) In two years' time, I'll have enough money together to get our own place, another deposit for a mortgage. HONEYWOOD: (As Abbie Turner) A thousand pounds - the only thing we've got is my car. We need to find a thousand-pound deposit to offer to them. HITCHEN: (As Ricky Turner) I don't want to live somewhere where we're always told how long we can stay or whether we need to move out. Ten years later, the dream's still out of reach. MONDELLO: She works 14-hour days already as a home health aide - has been since the 2008 financial crisis squelched their dreams of owning a home. And Ricky's wife Abbie points out a few other issues - no benefits to speak of, no time off.ĭEBBIE HONEYWOOD: (As Abbie Turner) It'd be like 14 hours a day, six days a week. MONDELLO: Aye, there's the rub - big expenses either way. HITCHEN: (As Ricky Turner) Yeah, I've been waiting for an opportunity like this for ages.īREWSTER: (As Gavin Maloney) Just one more thing before we go ahead with the franchise - you bringing your own van? Or are you going to hire with us? MONDELLO: Think Uber but for packages and with very precise delivery times.īREWSTER: (As Gavin Maloney) You sign up with us, you become an owner-drive franchisee. MONDELLO: Ricky is applying for a spot as a delivery guy, a gig economy gig that's essentially freelance.īREWSTER: (As Gavin Maloney) There's no employment contracts, no performance targets, no wages but fees. I'd rather starve first.īREWSTER: (As Gavin Maloney) Music to my ears, Ricky. ROSS BREWSTER: (As Gavin Maloney) Have you ever been on the dole? KRIS HITCHEN: (As Ricky Turner) Drainage, digging out, roofing, flooring, plumbing - I've even dug graves. (SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "SORRY WE MISSED YOU") Critic Bob Mondello says the working-class drama "Sorry We Missed You" has a subtext no one will miss.īOB MONDELLO, BYLINE: Before there are any images on screen, we hear a man running through his work experience at a job interview. The title of Ken Loach's new film comes from the door tags a British parcel company leaves when it can't make a delivery.
