Overview

  • Critics from outlets including the Christian Science Monitor have lauded the film’s honest and empathetic depiction of a survivor’s recovery.
  • The R-rated drama follows Agnes, played by Victor, through a five-year journey of healing after sexual assault without showing the assault on screen.
  • Key chapters such as “The Year of the Questions” and “The Year of the Bad Thing” mirror the protagonist’s erratic emotional path.
  • After winning Sundance’s Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award and securing an $8 million deal with A24, the film opened at Cannes and Edinburgh before its limited U.S. debut.
  • Backed by Barry Jenkins’s Pastel Productions, Sorry, Baby will roll out nationwide in mid-July following its key-market engagements.
