Full Review

Eva Victor’s first feature, *Sorry, Baby*, premiered at Sundance 2025 as a restrained yet resonant blend of comedy and drama. The film follows Agnes, a professor still grappling with past trauma, as she navigates the quiet rhythms of life in New England. Victor’s writing is economical and incisive, favouring subtlety over exposition, which allows the emotional undercurrents to emerge naturally.

Dialogue is crisp, often laced with dry humour, though some exchanges feel slightly understated. Visually, the film adopts a muted palette, with cinematography that captures the protagonist’s world in intimate, painterly detail. Direction is patient, prioritising character development over dramatic flourishes, while production design and editing maintain a steady, unobtrusive rhythm.

The standout element is the acting, particularly Victor’s nuanced performance, which balances vulnerability and wit. The supporting cast, including Lydie, adds depth to the story’s emotional texture. The score is subtle, complementing the film’s tonal shifts without drawing undue attention.
