Eva Victor's debut film, Sorry, Baby, captures the emotional struggles of Agnes, an academic dealing with the aftermath of a sexual assault. As she navigates her life in a college town, she grapples with feelings of abandonment when her friend Lydie visits, newly married and pregnant. The film vividly portrays Agnes' internal conflict and trauma without dramatizing the assault itself, showcasing the complexity of emotions victims often encounter, such as anger, guilt, and confusion regarding their feelings towards the perpetrator. Victor's thoughtful direction shines as she delves into these nuanced themes.
At their best, movies can be subtle expressions of feelings we've had but can't fully articulate. One of the functions of art is to explore the undefinable.
Agnes is happy for her friend Lydie, who recently learned she's pregnant, but she also feels abandoned as her own life remains static after trauma.
