Writer/director Eva Victor stars in this and she is very funny but it doesn’t shy away from some tough topics

I was swept up by how emotional and raw the film was without being too obvious or over the top.

A wildly impressive feature debut for Eva Victor. Told in non-chronological chapters that connect to achieve Victor's goal of ensuring the audience is never ahead of Agnes, rather, always in step with her journey of understanding what happened to her.
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Feb 17, 2025
While poignant in moments where Victor expresses a saddened story about the intertwining of guilt, anger, and hope through the aftermath of a tragedy... Victor adopts a mumblecore energy that strips her feature debut from a human element.
| Original Score: C- | Feb 16, 2025
A quietly remarkable first feature written and directed by the actor Eva Victor.

The brilliance of Sorry, Baby lies in its refusal to reduce Agnes to merely the sum of her pain. Instead, the film unfolds the complexity of her journey, highlighting her ongoing attempts to heal with a delicate blend of humor, warmth, and subtle anguish.

Bittersweet, brilliant, and heartwarmingly funny, Sorry, Baby is a movie that is sure to find an audience beyond Sundance.

Eva Victor is a multi-talented writer, director, and actress, she’s a true gem—delivering a performance infused with quiet strength and sharp comedic mastery.

It’s a triumph from Eva Victor, who writes, directs, and stars in a debut feature that nimbly combines black humour, deadpan naturalism and an emotional fearlessness that has no patience for false notes.

The gist of the film shows that no matter the trauma involved life goes on.
| Original Score: B | Feb 6, 2025
The story is expansive; its humanist lens, however, is tightly focused on Agnes and those close to her. Co-stars Naomi Ackie, Lucas Hedges and Kelly McCormack also excel, but this is Victor's glorious moment.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 5, 2025
Sorry, Baby looks at trauma in an amusing yet effective manner.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 5, 2025
It’s hard to truly enjoy Sorry, Baby, not due to its subject matter, but because the film surrounding the incident is so erratic and all over the place, there really doesn’t seem to be much point to any of it.
| Original Score: 5.5/10 | Feb 4, 2025
With Victor being just 30-years-old, and this being her first film, it’s astonishing what she achieves here. A mature and confident debut, with real staying power, and I can’t wait to see what Victor does next.

Sorry, Baby is an incredible presentation of Victor as an exciting new voice in filmmaking. Their ability to explore heavy topics in a way that isn't oppressive, and with a screenplay that's tender, quite funny, and necessary.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Feb 4, 2025
Sorry, Baby lives intently with this sense of dissociation that a woman feels as she struggles to reconcile what’s happened to her with what the rest of her life will be.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 3, 2025
The moving, sometimes hysterical, and often heartbreaking dramedy signals the arrival of a filmmaker with a unique voice capable of honestly portraying difficult subjects.
| Original Score: A | Feb 3, 2025
A deeply empathetic depiction of the aftermath of a sexual assault which will reasonate with many viewers.

“Sorry, Baby” showcases the kind of confidence a veteran filmmaker has over their characters, story, and tone, and the fact that Victor knocks it out of the park with her first film only makes us eager to see what else she has in store.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Feb 2, 2025
