"Bittersweet, brilliant, and heartwarmingly funny, Sorry, Baby is a movie that is sure to find an audience beyond Sundance."
—Kristy Puchko, Mashable
"Sharply written, smartly structured and well-acted, with a star-making turn from Victor herself, the 93-minute black comedy is not only nimble and consistently funny, but one of the best, most honest renderings of life after sexual assault that I’ve seen."
—Adrian Horton, Guardian
Something bad happened to Agnes. But life goes on — for everyone around her, at least. When a dear friend visits on the brink of a major milestone, Agnes starts to realize just how stuck she’s been, and begins to work through how to move forward.
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. Sorry, Baby captures the complexities and inconsistencies, triumphs and setbacks of Agnes’ attempts to heal — and Victor gives an endearingly vulnerable and fearlessly honest performance as her central character. Naomi Ackie radiates warmth as the sharp-witted roommate whose intimate, frank bond with Agnes allows her the safety to grapple with the enormity of what has happened to her — while Lucas Hedges brings tenderness to his role as Agnes’ befuddled but kind neighbor.
