Elaine May crafted a gangster film like no other in the nocturnal odyssey Mikey and Nicky, capitalising on the chemistry between frequent collaborators John Cassavetes and Peter Falk by casting them together as small-time mobsters whose lifelong relationship has turned sour. Set over the course of one night, this restless drama finds Nicky (Cassavetes) holed up in a hotel after the boss he stole money from puts a hit out on him. Terrified, he calls on Mikey (Falk), the one person he thinks can save him. Scripted to match the live-wire energy of its stars—alongside supporting players Ned Beatty, Joyce Van Patten, and Carol Grace—and inspired by real-life characters from May's own childhood, this unbridled portrait of male friendship turned tragic is an unsung masterpiece of American cinema.

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.
