Sorry, Baby

Dir: Eva Victor
Cast: Eva Victor, Naomi Ackie, Lucas Hedges

_Sorry, Baby_ is a fresh, hopeful, and utterly authentic portrait of young academic Agnes across three chapters of her life, before and after 'the bad thing' that happens to her. The film celebrates the pseudo-romantic friendship between Agnes and Lydie, which is infused with a reliability, trust and love. The film becomes a subversive example of how to portray trauma, with its strength lying in attentive consideration for its audience. The retrospective nature of this film does not desire to dwell upon its events, but instead reimagines how trauma and emotional stagnation may make way for rebirth and joy.

The film is thus a stunning and expectation-defying piece of work, with a somber tenderness settled on the audience from the start. The film's integration of dry humour equally stands out as a remarkable quality, and the film is a gentle and honest reminder of the importance of hope and love. The questions we are left with are embraced rather than rejected – a testament to just how moving and thought-provoking this film really is.
