In the heart of the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, “Sorry, Baby,” a debut film from director/writer Eva Victor, premiered in the U.S. Dramatic Competition. The film captures Agnes’ journey as she navigates trauma and inner struggles through non-linear storytelling, avoiding the direct recounting of her sexual assault. With dry humor and emotional depth, Victor crafts a deeply moving narrative that resonates with audiences.
The story follows Agnes as she reconnects with old friend Lydie and faces awkward moments at work before delving into the Before and After chapters of her trauma. The film’s non-linear structure allows viewers to experience Agnes’ inner world without confronting sensitive details, instead focusing on her relationships and emotional growth.
Citing the production team’s support—led by exceptional cinematography and editing—the film has garnered critical acclaim, with many hoping for its world premiere. As a reminder of promising new voices in cinema, “Sorry, Baby” promises to transport audiences back to Park City.
