Review of Sorry We Missed You

First up, if you are feeling just a little bit down and hard done by then this movie will could make you swing two ways. You'll either feel that your life isn't that bad after all and feel slightly better about yourself or, on the other hand, you'll be thinking very seriously about finding either a knife, some rope or a bottle of pills because this is a DEPRESSING movie to watch. (And if you are feeling this way then do get some help) Now I know the director and writer etc want to show case a family trying to survive in lovely England but you will find yourself yelling at the screen as each bad decision after a terrible decision gets played out in front of you in an almost Shakespearean sort of way. Plot is simple, you'll follow a family of four where the father blunders his way into a delivery franchise that is more akin to servitude. The mother acts like a Florence Nightingale who can't say no while a wayward son acts out the bad boy cliches while the youngest daughter appears to be the only beacon of light. The acting is up and down with some good scenes but then there are other scenes that come across as wooden. Clearly when I looked at other reviews I feel there is some political bias but it was an election year in the UK. What I do recommend about this film is that you watch it simply on the grounds of what NOT to do when trying to work your way out of debt.
