A fragile comedy-drama that examines how a private trauma haunts a young woman long after it occurred.

“Something pretty bad happened to me,” admits the main character of “Sorry, Baby”, a comedy-drama that examines how a private trauma haunts a woman long after it occurred. Writer-director Eva Victor’s superb feature debut jumbles its chronology, presenting fragments of different years in the life of a twenty-something academic, the memory of that terrible event revisiting her in waves. Delicately segueing from deadpan humour to delicate poignancy, “Sorry, Baby” is guided by the filmmaker’s graceful lead performance, which captures the guilt, anger and sadness of a woman who once seemingly had a bright future – until, suddenly, everything changed.
