Agnes feels stuck. Unlike her best friend, Lydie, who’s moved to New York and is now expecting a baby, Agnes still lives in the New England house they once shared as graduate students, now working as a professor at her alma mater. A ‘bad thing’ happened to Agnes a few years ago and, since then, despite her best efforts, life hasn’t gotten back on track.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Eva Victor wrote the screenplay in three weeks and shot the film in 19 days on a micro-budget, with many crew members wearing multiple hats.
Part of a wave of post-#MeToo films (Promising Young Woman, The Assistant) that refuse tidy revenge narratives — but Sorry, Baby is messier, funnier, and more interested in boring survival than spectacular justice.
