In February, A24 made headlines by purchasing Sorry Baby, the standout film of Sundance 2025, for a whopping $8 million. With a release date set for June 27 and a stop at Cannes’ Director’s Fortnight later this month, an awards campaign is expected to follow.
Sorry Baby, which won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award, marks the impressive debut of Eva Victor, a social media star and comedian. While it was one of the few notable sales at this year’s underwhelming Sundance, opinions on the film vary.
The film follows Agnes, portrayed by Victor, a sexual assault survivor struggling to move past her trauma while pursuing her dream of becoming a university professor. With sharp comedic detail and insightful storytelling, Victor navigates familiar tropes in #MeToo narratives while infusing her work with wit and wisdom.Check out the trailer now!
