Something bad happened to Agnes. But life goes on—for everyone around her, at least. A powerful and transcendently funny story of seizing back the ground after it's been yanked out from under you.
Sorry, Baby follows Agnes, a young professor in a picturesque, overcast New England town where she was also once a grad student, as she journeys through the absurdities, pleasures, confusions, and possibilities of just-starting life. A Sundance 2025 breakout hit, the winner of the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award, and produced by Barry Jenkins’ Pastel Pictures (Moonlight, Aftersun), this debut film announces a major new indie film talent in writer/director/star Eva Victor. [103 min; drama, comedy; English]
“Its fragmented literary structure and Victor’s captivating lead turn cohere theme, form, and content, melding the elliptical episodes into a canny representation of memory.” — Jacob Oliver, The AV Club
"Tough, tender and observational, Sorry, Baby suggests that Victor’s promising career has been suitably launched. The best, with luck, is yet to come." — Ann Hornday, The Washington Post
"I was moved to tears by the bond between Agnes and Lydie, and how Victor and Ackie bring to life the cellular nourishment true friendship provides." — Kimberly Jones, Austin Chronicle
