Sorry, Baby
Synopsis
A breakout hit at Sundance and screenplay award winner, Sorry, Baby is a bold, darkly funny, and deeply affecting debut from writer-director Eva Victor. Told in nonlinear chapters, the film follows five pivotal years in the life of Agnes (played with wit and vulnerability by Victor herself), a young English professor whose journey from grad school to tenure is quietly shaped by the aftermath of a traumatic event.
Alongside Agnes are her vibrant best friend Lydie (Naomi Ackie), her endearingly awkward neighbour (Lucas Hedges), and an unexpected companion in the form of a stray kitten. With its sharp script, emotionally layered storytelling, and fearless tone, this poignant dramedy marks the arrival of a bold new voice in contemporary cinema.
Fresh from the Cannes Directors’ Fortnight, Sorry, Baby is not to be missed.
Screening at Luna Leederville from September 4

Reviews
No quick hit of words could ever accurately convey the power and potency of Victor’s debut, a darkly funny and enormously tender film.
★★★★ A warm, bitingly funny refocus of the trauma plot... Not only nimble and consistently funny, but one of the best, most honest renderings of life after sexual assault that I’ve seen.
