Sorry, Baby

“Sorry, Baby (2025)” is a heartfelt dramedy written, directed by, and starring Eva Victor that delicately explores the path to healing after trauma. The film follows Agnes, a university professor living in the same New England house where she once pursued her graduate studies—a quiet symbol of how trauma can leave invisible marks. When her close friend Lydie visits from New York to announce she’s pregnant, Agnes is confronted with the reality that life moves forward for everyone else, even as she feels stuck in place.

Through a non-linear narrative, the film slowly reveals Agnes’s sexual assault by a professor—a past event that still shapes her present. However, Sorry, Baby (2025) doesn’t focus on the assault itself, but rather on the quiet, everyday aftermath: dry humor, isolation, unexpected human connections—like a kind neighbor or a sandwich vendor—and the stubborn will to keep living. Tender, ironic, and deeply human, the film stands out for its sensitive portrayal of trauma and its fragmented, introspective structure. Victor delivers a nuanced performance that has drawn critical praise. Premiering at Sundance, this indie gem is a bold, empathetic exploration of pain, growth, and emotional resilience.
