help Sorry We Missed You FAQ
Is the delivery driver in Sorry We Missed You named Liam?
No, the main delivery driver is Ricky Turner, played by Kris Hitchen. The 2019 Ken Loach film is set around Newcastle upon Tyne, not Northern Ireland, and follows Ricky's self-employed parcel franchise job.
What job does Abby have in Sorry We Missed You?
Abby Turner, played by Debbie Honeywood, is a home care worker who loses access to the family car when Ricky buys a van for delivery work. Her bus travel and timed visits mirror Ricky's scanner-driven delivery pressure.
How does Sorry We Missed You connect to I, Daniel Blake?
Both films were directed by Ken Loach and written by Paul Laverty, and both look at working-class pressure in contemporary Britain. I, Daniel Blake won the Palme d'Or in 2016, while Sorry We Missed You competed at Cannes in 2019.
What does the barcode scanner matter in Sorry We Missed You?
The scanner is Ricky's link to the depot, delivery schedule, and penalties. After Ricky is attacked and the device is damaged, the threat of replacement costs and fines shows how little protection his supposed self-employment gives him.
