Sorry We Missed You (2019)
Directed by Ken Loach
Ricky and his family have been fighting an uphill struggle against debt since the 2008 financial crash. An opportunity to wrestle back some independence appears with a shiny new van and the chance to run a franchise as a self-employed delivery driver. It's hard work, and his wife's job as a carer is no easier. The family unit is strong but when both are pulled in different directions everything comes to breaking point.

What critics compared Sorry We Missed You to
And Stone, who bears some physical resemblance to Barry Keoghan (from Dunkirk and The Killing of a Sacred Deer ) and has a similar, almost feral intensity, is a young talent to watch.
He vibrates off the screen with Michael Keaton “Birdman” level punch-drunk ambition, epileptic angst, and suicidal despair.
