- 100The GuardianPeter BradshawThe GuardianPeter BradshawIt’s fierce, open and angry, unironised and unadorned, about a vital contemporary issue whose implications you somehow don’t hear on the news.
- 100The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyThe Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyA drama of such searing human empathy and quotidian heartbreak that its powerful climactic scenes actually impede your breathing.
- 91The PlaylistBradley WarrenThe PlaylistBradley WarrenAs typical as it may sound from the outside, tender and devastating in turn, “Sorry We Missed You” is essential viewing.
- 90Screen DailyLee MarshallScreen DailyLee MarshallAn angry skewering of today’s gig economy as well as a moving drama about a loving family on the verge of implosion which is easily is one of Loach’s very best films.
- 90VarietyOwen GleibermanVarietyOwen GleibermanAnother intimate and powerful drama about what’s going on in people’s everyday lives. ... Loach stages all of this with supreme confidence and flow.
- 80CineVueJohn BleasdaleCineVueJohn BleasdaleLaverty and Loach have created another hard-hitting, powerful film, spiked with humour and moments of rare but profound humanity.
- 75TheWrapSteve PondTheWrapSteve PondIt is not a subtle film, and its bluntness is occasionally potent but just as often wearying.
- 60Los Angeles TimesJustin ChangLos Angeles TimesJustin ChangAs a stripped-down, minutely detailed portrait of the daily grind as back-breaking Sisyphean ordeal, “Sorry We Missed You” is engrossing and bluntly persuasive. I was less convinced by the family dynamics.
