“We know what you’re going through, we are women.” “What…?” A24 has unveiled an official trailer for an acclaimed indie film titled Sorry, Baby, from filmmaker Eva Victor who is making her feature debut as a writer & director & star in this Sundance hit. The film premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival and was heralded as one of the best films of the fest with exceptional reviews all-around (it’s currently at 95% on RT). The only brief synopsis states very vaguely: Something bad happened to Agnes. But life goes on… for everyone around her, at least. Eva Victor stars in a very personal story examining her life before and after a traumatic in June in the middle of the summer – and it’s likely to become a big indie hit this year. An entirely original, clever, extremely smart film that introduces a distinct voice offering a different take on this important story.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Eva Victor’s film Sorry, Baby, direct from A24’s YouTube:
Via Sundance: “Something bad happened to Agnes. But life goes on… for everyone around her, at least. In an aching and tender debut feature, writer-director Eva Victor displays a tremendous specificity of voice, depicting graduate student-turned-professor Agnes with sensitivity and emotional clarity both before & after her trauma. Infusing [Agnes’] sardonic wit into its cinematic language of isolation & confusion, Sorry, Baby uses its nonlinear formal structure and five-year duration to capture the complexities and inconsistencies, triumphs and setbacks of Agnes’ attempts to heal.” Sorry, Baby is written and directed by French-American filmmaker / comedian / writer / actress Eva Victor, making her feature directorial debut after a few other short films previously. Produced by Mark Ceryak, Barry Jenkins, and Adele Romanski. This initially premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, and won the Best Screenplay Award. A24 debuts Victor’s Sorry, Baby film in select US theaters starting June 27th, 2025. Who wants to watch?
