Overview

English Professor Agnes teaches at the same rural New England college she attended as a grad student, living in the same home she used to rent with her best friend Lydie during their studies. When Lydie comes to stay with her, it becomes exceedingly clear that Agnes’ life has been moving slowly compared to her married, city-dwelling former roommate.

Eva Victor writes and stars in their impressive directorial debut, a humorous and healing story about coming to terms with past trauma. Capturing the details that enrich friendships and the barely concealed vulnerabilities resulting from past experiences, the film balances humour and heartbreak as the trauma lurking behind Agnes’s troubles is gradually revealed. Produced by Barry Jenkins, Sorry, Baby was a sensation at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival.
