"Loosely inspired by Victor's own experiences, the film sees her take on the role of Agnes, an East Coast English professor who, after a shock sexual assault, begins to quietly unspool. It's a story we know well in the post-MeToo era, but Sorry, Baby is a sharp reinterpretation of the typical trauma plot: there is no violence, no gratuity, no moralising and no revenge. Instead, it's more about the strange, slippery nature of trauma, and the mundane, often unsatisfying, ways we have to stitch ourselves back together."
""I felt unstoppable," the actor and comedian tells AnOther, recalling the first time she wore Loewe at Cannes (a black structural suit one evening, and an "alien goddess" dress the next). "I was strutting in ways I didn't know I had access to." Months later, the house has elevated her again, naming her the face of the Crafted Collection, a fragrance line that spotlights Iris Root, Roasted Vanilla, and Bittersweet Oud as its distinct, singular protagonists."
Eva Victor directed and starred in Sorry, Baby, a slow-burn 2025 film loosely inspired by her experiences that became a critical success. The film follows Agnes, an East Coast English professor who quietly unspools after a shock sexual assault. The narrative avoids explicit violence, gratuity, moralising, and revenge, instead focusing on the strange, slippery nature of trauma and the mundane, often unsatisfying ways people stitch themselves back together. Friendship functions as a central life-sustaining element in the story. Loewe tapped Victor as a muse and named her the face of the Crafted Collection fragrance, photographed by Tim Elkaim.
