US EditionEva Victor: 'Sorry, Baby' Is 'Punching up' at Oppressive Institutions
- Eva Victor directed and stars in the film Sorry, Baby, which opened Friday in New York and Los Angeles and will expand nationwide in the coming weeks.
- The film grew from Victor’s personal trauma story and focuses on Agnes, a New England literature professor assaulted by her thesis adviser, exploring her nonlinear healing process.
- Sorry, Baby uses nonlinear storytelling to reveal Agnes’s emotional landscape, emphasizing her friendships, especially with Lydie played by Naomi Ackie, and avoiding graphic depiction of the assault.
- The film won the screenwriting award at Sundance earlier this year, received standing ovations, earned critical acclaim for its smart script, and uses comedy to highlight oppressive institutions.
- Sorry, Baby’s reception suggests it resonates by balancing pain and humor while centering on healing, friendship, and systemic critique rather than trauma exploitation.
