What We Think

‘Sorry We Missed You’ is far from woke by today’s standards. It’s more an old-school, heartfelt drama about family and dignity, with very little in the way of ideological grandstanding or forced representation.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

‘Sorry We Missed You’ focuses on working-class hardship and family struggle, prioritizing character-driven storytelling over identity checkboxes. There’s no emphasis on race, sexuality, or identity politics; the characters’ humanity is front and center, not their status in some diversity spreadsheet.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film is critical of modern economic conditions, it doesn’t undermine traditional values like family, hard work, or masculinity. Instead, it highlights the stresses that threaten these foundations, so viewers might see it as a call to protect, rather than tear down, traditional bonds.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film is a clear critique of the gig economy but avoids cartoonish villains or overt demonization of alternative viewpoints. Some may say it leans left, but you won’t see the usual parade of ideological boxes getting ticked or anyone preaching identity dogma.
