Sorry, Baby

It’s a triumph from Eva Victor, who writes, directs, and stars in a debut feature that nimbly combines black humour, deadpan naturalism and an emotional fearlessness that has no patience for false notes. ” Nicolas Rapold Financial Times

This breakout Sundance hit and screenplay award winner is a witty and fearlessly vulnerable dramedy about an English professor trying to overcome the unspeakable.

The confident and remarkable debut from writer and comedian Eva Victor made waves at Sundance, heralding a new voice of exceptional talent. Told in nonlinear chapters, it follows five years in the life of Agnes (expertly embodied by Victor), who’s introduced to us as a wry and intelligent young English professor. The film traces her transition from grad student to tenure, but also the before and after of a sexual assault. As she navigates the healing process Agnes is supported by her sprightly best friend, Lydie (Naomi Ackie, Mickey 17), along with an endearingly awkward neighbour (Lucas Hedges, Ladybird, Boy Erased) and a sweet stray kitten.
