A24 has released the official trailer for Sorry, Baby, starring Eva Victor and Naomi Ackie, in the feature directorial debut of writer-director Victor. Watch the trailer below.
The film’s description reads: “Something bad happened to Agnes. But life goes on … for everyone around her, at least.”
College professor Agnes (Victor) tries to recover from a sexual assault that took place three years ago on her current campus, when she was a grad student. The trailer also shows the character reconnecting with her close friend Lydie (Ackie) and sparking a romance with Gavin (Lucas Hedges).
The film also stars John Carroll Lynch as Pete, Louis Cancelmi as Decker, Kelly McCormack as Natasha, E. R. Fightmaster as Fran, Hettienne Park as Eleanor Winston, Natalie Rotter-Laitman as Claire, Cody Reiss as Devin, Jordan Mendoza as Logan, Liz Bishop as Elizabeth, Conor Sweeney as Jeremy, Alison Wachtler as the Clerk, Jonny Myles as the man she thought was Decker, Pricilla Manning as Andrea Fuller, Celeste Oliva as Sophie, and Chhoyang Cheshatsang as Thomas.
According to Sundance: “In an aching and tender debut feature, writer-director Eva Victor displays a tremendous specificity of voice, depicting graduate student–turned–professor Agnes with sensitivity and emotional clarity—both before and after her trauma. Infusing the character’s sardonic wit into its cinematic language of isolation and confusion, Sorry, Baby uses its nonlinear formal structure and five-year duration to capture the complexities and inconsistencies, triumphs and setbacks of Agnes’ attempts to heal.”
“Victor also gives an endearingly vulnerable and fearlessly honest performance as her central character. Naomi Ackie radiates warmth as the sharp-witted roommate whose intimate, frank bond with Agnes allows her the safety to grapple with the enormity of what has happened to her, while Hedges brings tenderness to his role as Agnes’ befuddled but kind neighbor.”
Produced by Adele Romanski, Mark Ceryak, Barry Jenkins, and Frank Ariza, Sorry, Baby comes from a collaboration between Pastel, Big Beach, High Frequency Entertainment, and Tango Entertainment.
Sorry, Baby premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, where it was sold to A24 for around $8 million. The film will be released in theaters by A24 on June 27, 2025.
