Overview
- Eva Victor wrote, directed and stars in 'Sorry, Baby', her debut feature produced by Barry Jenkins’s Pastel Productions and distributed by A24.
- The film premiered at Sundance in January, winning the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award, and screened at Cannes and Edinburgh before its limited theatrical release began on June 27.
- Following its June 27 limited release, A24 will expand 'Sorry, Baby' nationwide on July 18, rolling out to additional theaters across the U.S.
- Victor omits any on-screen depiction of the central assault, instead using visual cues like lingering shots of key locations to convey the lingering half-life of trauma.
- Supporting performances from Naomi Ackie, Lucas Hedges, John Carroll Lynch, Kelly McCormack and Louis Cancelmi deepen the film’s exploration of queer friendship and personal resilience.
