For Kahleen Crawford, casting director for BBC and HBO series “His Dark Materials,” being successful at her job requires a gut instinct mixed with a bit of magic. “A lot of it is psychology,” she says. “You have to apply different parts of your skill set to different people in different projects.”
Crawford has often applied that skill set in the service of director Ken Loach, who gave the now 41-year-old her first job heading a department 17 years ago in 2004’s “Ae Fond Kiss,” and whose latest film, “Sorry We Missed You,” bowed in the U.S. on March 6. It’s her ninth feature with the director — and first since 2016’s Palme d’Or-winning “I, Daniel Blake.”
Loach is renowned for finding and casting unknown or non-actors, and Crawford’s goal was to find people the audience could relate to.
“Paul [Laverty, Loach’s writer for the bulk of his films] and Ken will know where they’re thinking of...

More than Ken Loach’s Palme d’Or for I, Daniel Blake, the film’s Prize of the Ecumenical Jury–Special Mention indicates the nature of Loach and Paul Laverty’s oeuvre in the last twenty-five years. The prize honors works that “reveal the mysterious depths of human beings through what concerns them, their hurts and failings as well as their hopes.” In their newest film, Sorry We Missed You, instead of focusing on one character, as in I, Daniel Blake, “Loach widens his lens to a family of four, a heightening of emotional stakes in a move that richly pays off through Paul Laverty’s script,” Ed Frankl said in our rave Cannes review.
The story follows Ricky (Kris Hitchen) and his wife Abbie (Debbie Honeywood), along with their kids Seb (Rhys Stone) and Liza Jae (Katie Proctor). Abbie is strapped for family time as she relies on public...

For 50-plus years, British filmmaker Ken Loach has been a crusading white knight for the working class. His heroes are laborers, carpenters, union organizers, social workers, immigrant house cleaners, pub-dwelling punters, football-fanatic postmen. Kids, whether it’s the falconry-obsessed lad of Kes (1969) or the drug-dealing teen of Sweet Sixteen (2002), are usually fighting the effects or suffering the after-effects of economic inequity. Even his historical dramas set during the Irish War for Independence (The Wind That Shakes the Barley, Jimmy’s Hall) and the Spanish Civil War (Land and Freedom) tend to...

As a raucous howl of protest at a welfare state disemboweled by decades of unhinged privatization, Ken Loach’s 2016 I, Daniel Blake ended with no exclamation marks, but a wall daubed in white paint. “I, Daniel Blake, demand my appeal date before I starve,” read the graffiti penned by Dave Johns’s eponymous Daniel, a 59-year-old carpenter and widower wrestling with a catch-22 state-enforced conundrum: avoid work or risk another heart attack, look for jobs or lose welfare benefits. It was an intricate, Kafkaesque nightmare of desk people, computers, and unanswered calls, a bureaucratic apparatus that gradually morphed into a dehumanizing Leviathan. But it also echoed as a hymn to the resilience of the downtrodden, and a call for empathy over and against a system designed to strip individuals of their basic rights. Daniel Blake’s paint-splayed offense was the ultimate, hopeless paean of an ever-growing section of society faced...

"I never thought it would be this difficult." Zeitgeist Films has revealed another new official Us trailer for Ken Loach's latest film Sorry We Missed You, which will be in Us theaters starting in March of next year. This initially premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in competition earlier this summer, and it played at the Toronto, Zurich, Hamburg, and Busan Film Festivals. The indie drama is a follow-up to Loach's acclaimed Palme d'Or winning film I, Daniel Blake, with the same screenwriter. This time they tell a story of a British family struggling to get by - the father takes a job as a "zero-hour", "self-employed" delivery driver and feels the stress increase as he tries to make ends meet. The film stars Kris Hitchen, Debbie Honeywood, Rhys Stone, Katie Proctor, and Ross Brewster. This is a solid new trailer, capturing the essence of the film and how...

"This decides who lives, and who dies." Entertainment One UK has debuted the first official UK trailer for Ken Loach's latest film Sorry We Missed You, not to be confused with Sorry To Bother You. This initially premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in competition just a few months ago, and it's also playing at the Sydney Film Festival next. The indie drama is a follow-up to Loach's acclaimed Palme d'Or winning film I, Daniel Blake, with the same screenwriter. This time the focus is on a modern British family struggling to get by - the father takes a job as a delivery driver and feels the stress increase as he tries to make ends meet. The film stars Kris Hitchen, Debbie Honeywood, Rhys Stone, Katie Proctor, and Ross Brewster. It's a strong film, about how terrible capitalism is and how much stress comes from trying to keep our lives stable.

Ken Loach’s follow-up to his Palme d’Or-winning I, Daniel Blake is a masterful indictment of the strain of out-of-control capitalism that has dug its heels into post-crash industrialized nations. Sorry We Missed You is, simply, one of his best films that links the personal and the political.
This is Loach’s 14th film in competition at Cannes, where his brand of social realism has found sustained success–he had previously won the Palme for his 2006 Irish civil war drama The Wind that Shakes the Barley. But even at 82 he’s producing some of the richest and most vital work of his career. I, Daniel Blake has an emotional richness, but this is an altogether more focused, more riveting work that lacks its predecessor’s occasional tendency to lurch into holier-than-thou didacticism.
Rather than focusing on the plight of a single individual, as was the case in his recent...

The Notebook is covering Cannes with an on-going correspondence between critic Leonardo Goi and editor Daniel Kasman.A White, White DayDear Danny,Among the many veteran’s tips you gave me on our first Cannes rendezvous was a polite reminder to fish for gems outside the red-carpeted slots of the official competition, and yesterday I heeded the call, queuing for my first screening at the Critics’ Week, Hlynur Pálmason’s A White, White Day. It was not the first time I stumbled into the Icelandic 34-year-old. Back in Locarno, in 2017, I’d been able to catch his debut feature, the visceral study of masculinity and festival darling Winter Brothers. And if the latter had heralded the Reykjavik-native as new name to reckon with, his new film only adds more evidence to the director's talent.Having lost his wife in a car accident, police chief Ingimundur processes grief by channeling all...

His fourteenth trip in the comp and with two Palme d’Or wins under his belt, Ken Loach’s Sorry We Missed You might be calling it quits after this family affair. Once again working with cinematographer Robbie Ryan, this is about picking up the pieces after the 2008 financial crash and literally picking up pieces by delivery truck with a cast comprised of Kris Hitchen, Debbie Honeywood, Rhys Stone and Katie Proctor. Wild Bunch are handling world sales.
Something tells me that Ken Loach might be packing a suitcase with his third Palme with another timely, sentimental film as certain critics are pushing this to the top of their lists.…...

Kitchen-sink dramatist Ken Loach is our most dependable chronicler of working-class British frustrations. From 1966’s jittery “Cathy Come Home” to 2016’s Palme d’Or winner “I, Daniel Blake,” Loach creates sympathetic portraits of impoverished families as they eke out an existence in a society at odds with their needs. Loach is also not the most subtle filmmaker, but he grounds his intentions in emotional immediacy that lets the editorializing sink in.
“Sorry We Missed You” is the latest installment in this sprawling pantheon of cinematic activism, and delivers another tough, poignant look at desperate characters trapped by the only system that allows them to survive.
At its center is Ricky Turner (Kris Hitchen), an energetic family man with a questionable gig. As a delivery driver, he’s drawn into an arrangement with a company that encourages him to buy his own van, absorbing many expenses himself. Of course, Ricky’s...
