In an underwater city, a young girl takes care of a large egg she holds carefully in her arms. A boy with a gun arrives in search of a bird he saw in his dream. At first, it seems as if feelings of sympathy are developing between the two.

Sorry, Baby
2025 103mins USA (15) Comedy / Drama
Directed by Eva Victor Starring Eva Victor, Naomi Ackie, Louis Cancelmi

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.

“The film’s tone is a real balancing act,” says Victor, “one that hopefully feels true to life – funny, with pain. Painful, with funny parts.” Their sharp-eyed script creatively circumvents representing the unspeakable while applying a darkly comic wit to difficult subject matter, deftly revealing the absurdity of systems that neglect their victims.

Produced by Oscar-winning director Barry Jenkins (Moonlight), Sorry, Baby portrays grief with sensitivity and wry, offbeat humour, exploring the aftermath of trauma and the process of healing.
