Starring John Carroll Lynch, Lucas Hedges, Naomi Ackie, Louis Cancelmi, Eva Victor, Kelly McCormack, Hettienne Park, Cody Reiss, Jordan Mendoza
Sorry, Baby is a tale of quietly powerful triumph, of seizing back your footing after the ground is yanked out from under you. This unabashedly frank portrait of how a person learns to live with a
thing that you can’t actually get over is also often surprisingly, transcendently funny. That’s because writer, director, and star Eva Victor—in an auspicious triple-threat debut that heralds the arrival of a new voice as sharp as it is exquisitely tender—upends the way we usually tell stories of traumatic events.
Produced by Barry Jenkins, Adele Romanski, and Mark Ceryak of Pastel (Moonlight, Aftersun) and the winner of the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, Victor’s feature debut marks the arrival of a bold and unforgettable new voice.
As the smart, sensitive, and witty Agnes, a young professor in a picturesque, overcast New England town where she was also once a grad student, Victor lays bare a side of human life that
frequently goes unseen: the bold inner act of mending oneself. With her friends slipping away into faraway lives, Agnes opts to stay put in the college town where she was at the top of her class — and found herself hitting rock bottom after a shocking betrayal.
