Put a cat on a movie poster and, honestly, we’re already sold. That was the case for a lot of Unlimited members who had the opportunity to go and see Eva Victor’s Sorry, Baby, in which they both directed and starred in as main character Agnes.
Sorry, Baby follows Agnes, a literature professor at a New England liberal arts college, who reunites with her friends and reminisces on an event that nearly broke her and ultimately triggered how the rest of her life would play out. A movie that combines humour with darker themes, it’s one that might just catch you and your feelings unawares.
Here’s what Unlimited members thought of Sorry, Baby.
With themes of assault and abuse of power, it’s fair to say Sorry, Baby isn’t always an easy watch. One thing members agreed though was that Eva Victor struck the right balance.
Extremely heartfelt and compelling. Teeters the line between solid observational humour and true heartbreak, yet Eva Victor just figures out a way to make it all work.

Really great movie thoughtfully made in a way that lets it resonate without hammering you with any particular aspect of itself. Its such a balancing act and she makes it seem effortless

I loved this one, reminded me a little of Obvious Child. Eva Victor brought such a specific and unique energy to Agnes, I found her so watchable. Beautiful, frank dialogue too with multiple standout scenes - the sandwich, the bathtub, the conversations with her mentor etc.

To summarise Unlimited members’ thoughts over on X, Harv has just put it out there…
one of the best of this year

Over on Letterboxd, attendees of the Cineworld Unlimited screening were similarly moved by Sorry, Baby. One thing is for sure: we are all ready for whatever Eva Victor puts out next.
Came for the cat, stayed for the beautifully heartbreaking journey of Agnes.
In short, there are two takeaways from Sorry, Baby, perfectly captured by Lea and Grey on Letterboxd.
Sorry, Baby is getting its UK release on 22nd August. Be eligible for the next Unlimited screening by signing up for your own membership, the cost of which is the equivalent of two tickets to Cineworld every month.
