Sorry, Baby Rezensionen & Wertungen
- rg94006. August 2025I went into this movie relatively blind outside of knowing it had received great reviews. The movie doesn't open chronologically, and the initial chapter was a bit of a struggle for me. The deadpan and weird humor didn't exactly land, and it wasn't exactly clear where the movie was headed. There was a sense of unease throughout, and once the movie shifted to its second chapter, things started to click into place. The movie is very effective at using simple camera tricks to really heighten the moments of dread, and Eva Victor's acting style and humor starts to finally make sense. I thought it was really impressive how the same humor started to elicit actual laughs from the audience as it was reframed against the tragedy. Being able to mine this event for dark humor and having that humor work because it was tinged with that grief is a credit to her writing. The movie is also able to take very mundane interactions and showcase how they can trigger someone who is suffering from trauma. I thought there were multiple moments in the movie that were able to illustrate how genuine conversations or minutiae in daily life can harm those who are suffering from this type of trauma. Finally, the movie returns back to its starting chapter, creating a sort of bookend. The movie ends abruptly here, offering no real sense of catharsis, which makes sense considering there are no easy answers here. However, I initially struggled with both sides of the bookends, thinking they were odd and didn't deliver in the way the middle of the movie did. The person who I saw the movie with disagreed, telling me that it is very different for women. As I started to think about this more, I really started to appreciate the way the beginning foreshadows so much and how very small details are utilized later on, many of which I missed. The bookends help deliver a very sincere and heart wrenching message that I think the rest of the movie builds throughout. It's incredibly well made when you think about how everything ties together and how it is able to communicate its singular message in such a genuine way while still being expertly structured. This is the debut for actor, writer, and director Eva Victor whose triple duty role in this movie clearly highlights her as a talent to watch. This movie might not work for everyone due to the offbeat humor, but I do think it should be watched by a lot of people due to what it is trying to showcase.
- TomK_BE14. Februar 2026Sorry, Baby tells its story out of order, divided into annual chapters that add tension and make it feel like reading a novel. It’s a small, intimate film with a quietly devastating take on personal trauma—perfect if you want the depth of a book without the evening-long commitment.
- Megan Cruz31. Juli 2025This feels like the introduction to a legendary filmmaker. Eva Victor has such a singular voice. Love seeing female friendship onscreen.
- PapaHamzeh9. Februar 2026What a great movie. I went in not expecting much, because I didn't really know anything about it. The actors all delivered great performances. Eva was fantastic, and second best was John Caroll Lynch. Barely any screen time and his character completely stole the screen. As a father to daughters, the story made me incredibly sad and I just so desperately want the world to be different for them, and for all.
- Austin Burke29. Juli 2025Sorry, Baby delivers a quietly stunning screenplay, one of the year’s finest. Eva Victor masterfully maintains the perfect tone, weaving lighthearted charm into a harrowing subject. Its delicate approach deepens every moment, landing with profound impact. Do not miss it.
- Tyler S4. Januar 2026👍👍 8.5/10
- Nirupam3. Juli 2025The static shot outside the house as day turns to evening, then to night. The drive home afterward. The dip in the bath as you ramble, trying to make sense of what just happened to you. Eva Victor, you gave me chills. Sorry, Baby is perfection in every sense of word. The way it’s effortlessly funny in the driest way possible in one moment, then absolutely shattering in the next. Eva Victor is not only in complete command of the story and its tone; she’s also commanding on screen, delivering a performance that genuinely moved me.
- Rezwan Razzaq4. Januar 2026Good stuff

- Hakihiko3. Januar 2026A Story with Heart and (Dark)Humor "Sorry, Baby" is a gentle and enjoyable film that doesn't aim for grand profundity but succeeds beautifully in creating a warm, engaging experience. It's a movie that feels easy to watch - light on its feet, pleasant in tone, and genuinely enjoyable in the way it balances humor and heartfelt moments. What makes "Sorry, Baby" work is its simplicity. The story isn't complicated, but it's crafted with a sense of sincerity that gives it charm. The humor lands in the right places - quiet, character-driven laughs rather than forced punchlines - and there's a natural rhythm to the way scenes evolve. It's the kind of movie that doesn't need to shout to be likable. The performances are solid across the board. The cast brings warmth and relatability to their roles, making their interactions feel authentic and easy to connect with. Even moments that might have felt cliché in lesser hands end up feeling earnest and engaging here. While "Sorry, Baby" doesn't break new ground or surprise with big twists, it doesn't really need to. It's crafted with care, keeps you invested, and leaves you with a pleasant aftertaste - a film that's genuinely fun to watch without ever trying too hard. In the end, "Sorry, Baby" is a modest but enjoyable movie - simple, sincere, and well worth your time when you're in the mood for something lighthearted with a bit of heart.
- Spanktacular7. August 2025Brilliant, charming, quirky, and the way the conversation and words flowed... Learning that the main character is also the writer and director was the icing on the cake.
- Kevin Ward30. Juni 2025This moment when Agnes is reeling from a "something" that has altered her sense of self, and she anxiously, awkwardly approaches her neighbor….ready to burn something, perhaps anything. Agnes: “Do you have lighter fluid?” Neighbor: “What for?” Agnes: "My friends and I are gonna make hot dogs." Neighbor: "Ooh, hot dogs sound good!" Agnes: “Oh. Sorry…we only bought two.” Neighbor: ““Oh…no….that’s no problem. I have dinner plans with my mom.” Neighbor: …. "That's not true. I'm sorry. I just wanted to close myself off from the possibility of being rejected.” Eva Eva Victor writes, directs, and stars as Agnes in Sorry, Baby, a film that lives in the aftermath of a trauma (one that is all too common), and mines it for humor and humanity. Agnes lives in a state of dissonance, where a single, life-altering event has left her fundamentally changed while the world around her remains eerily the same. She now inhabits a version of reality that feels crueler; not because it has suddenly become so, but because now she knows it can be. For a film that touches so directly on trauma, Victor handles the material with remarkable precision. The inciting incident isn't ignored. It still carries emotional weight and a few choice moments of (off)screen time, but the film resists fixating on it or sensationalizing it. Instead, the film focuses mainly on the relationship between Agnes and Lydia (Naomi Ackie). Tender, loving, and accepting of each other in every capacity, their relationship allows them a precious amount of vulnerability. But even in this safest of spaces, the words rape and sexual assault remain unspoken. It is as if to name the thing would solidify it, make it irrevocably real, and confirm to Agnes that this is a world where bad somethings happen…and that they can happen to me. Sorry, Baby is a sharply observed portrait of innocence lost, and the painful process of learning how to live in a world that no longer feels "safe"….and maybe never was.
- Jason Layton30. Dezember 2025Great dialogue, fantastic acting in a movie that I can't stop thinking about!
- Pappie29. Dezember 2025I love a good movie, written, directed and played by the same person
