With Sorry, Baby, writer-director-star Eva Victor rethinks how cinema portrays and processes trauma, and it’s not with sensationalism or buzzy terminology, but with restraint, humour, and compassion. Victor stars as Agnes, a literature professor working at the same New England college where she once attended grad school and survived an assault. The film, structured non-linearly, follows Agnes as she navigates her career, friendships, and romantic relationships, highlighting the challenges of healing and finding meaning after a traumatic event. The film received widespread critical acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival, where Victor won the festival’s top screenwriting award.
