Ricky and Abby, both working on zero-hour contracts, have jobs as a delivery driver and a home care worker, respectively. They struggle to make ends meet, especially as the family's personal troubles begin to pile up. Ken Loach and his screenwriter Pauil Laverty follow-up I, Daniel Blake with another hard-hitting and heartfelt working-class drama, this time focused on the gig economy. As usual, the characters are wonderfully drawn and the performances are heartbreakingly believable.
