Description
Agnes feels stuck. Unlike her best friend, Lydie, who’s moved to New York and is now expecting a baby, Agnes still lives in the New England house they once shared as graduate students, now working as a professor at her alma mater. A ‘bad thing’ happened to Agnes a few years ago and, since then, despite her best efforts, life hasn’t gotten back on track.

Key opinion
Sorry, Baby is a polarizing debut that splits audiences between those who appreciate its restrained, non-linear portrayal of trauma recovery and those who find the narrative incoherent and emotionally distant. While supporters praise the film's refusal to rely on melodramatic tropes, critics often point to a lack of substance and an overly self-indulgent style that obscures the protagonist's development.
| Theme | The film is consistently praised for rejecting melodramatic clichés, instead depicting trauma through quiet, everyday survival and the integration of pain into ordinary life. | |
| Direction | Eva Victor’s direction is noted for its restrained, static aesthetic and atmospheric focus, which effectively captures the protagonist's internal isolation. | |
| Screenplay | The non-linear, chapter-based structure is divisive; supporters argue it authentically reflects the fragmented nature of recovery, while others find it creates a disjointed narrative that lacks clarity. | |
| Acting | The protagonist's characterization is a significant point of contention: some viewers see her as a complex, realistic representation of suppressed trauma, while others find her inconsistent, underdeveloped, and difficult to empathize with. | |
| Humor | The film's humor is a point of disagreement; proponents find it a sincere and necessary coping mechanism, whereas detractors view it as jarring or indicative of a superficial approach to heavy subject matter. |
