Eva Victor’s film follows a student named Agnes over several years to see how she deals with the aftermath of a traumatic event.
Eva Victor wasn’t well-known in the film world until they debuted Sorry, Baby at the Sundance Film Festival in January, when they established themselves as a major new voice in filmmaking.
Victor’s feature directorial debut is split into chapters that sum up a year in the life of student-turned-literature professor Agnes (Victor).
The film begins with Agnes’s best friend and former university roommate, Lydie (Naomi Ackie), coming to visit from New York. During that reunion weekend, they allude to something traumatic happening to Agnes four years earlier.
The second chapter then jumps back to that time to reveal what happened, and the ensuing sections catch us up to the present day, with Lydie’s next visit to Agnes’s remote rural home in New England.
Within minutes of watching Sorry, Baby, you will be struck by Victor’s writing. Their screenplay is sharp, understated, darkly funny and brutally honest.
