Sorry, Baby

Eva Victor makes an extraordinary debut as writer, director, and star of indie festival favorite “Sorry, Baby,” a story that includes profound trauma told with delicacy and even humor. The primary theme is not trauma but grace.

It’s the banality of enduring a sexual assault that Victor captures so well in her film; how the trauma lingers long in the body, even when you keep insisting to everyone (including yourself) that you’re fine.

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.


A quietly remarkable first feature written and directed by the actor Eva Victor.

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

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.

A portrait of trauma and healing that eschews sensationalism in favour of something far messier, more humane, and ultimately more affecting. It's a debut feature so confident and textured that it feels like the work of a seasoned auteur.

The filmmaker speaks to the victim's pain, expressing it very clearly and convincingly, without descending into victimization. [Full review in Spanish]

We haven’t seen a film quite like writer-director Eva Victor’s Sorry, Baby.

The film is authentic, hits us hard, pulls no punches, and showcases Eva Victor as a powerful new voice.
