Sorry We Missed You (2019)

I rarely award five stars to a film, but I think Sorry We Missed You deserves it. Ken Loach is a maestro in unpretentiously portraying working-class families and their hardships, and he does it in such an impressively credible way that it feels like you’re watching a touching documentary about real people. I couldn’t keep my eyes dry, but I also laughed out loud a few times. And to think that Ken Loach was in his early eighties when he made this. A master storyteller who hasn’t lost his touch. I hope he will continue until he’s 120 years old. Added to my list of all-time favorite films: letterboxd.com/metinseven/list/my-all-time-favorite-movies/
