Sorry, Baby

Two people sit on the ground outside a building; one is eating a sandwich while the other holds a napkin

Something bad happened to Agnes. But life goes on… for everyone around her, at least.

In an aching and tender debut feature, writer-director Eva Victor displays a tremendous specificity of voice, depicting graduate student-turned-professor Agnes with sensitivity and emotional clarity both before and after her trauma. Infusing the character’s sardonic wit into its cinematic language of isolation and confusion, Sorry, Baby uses its nonlinear formal structure and five-year duration to capture the complexities and inconsistencies, triumphs and setbacks of Agnes’ attempts to heal.
