Sorry, Baby (2025)

Sorry, Baby

• I can’t remember where I first heard about this, but it’s definitely been high up on my list of films from 2025 to watch. I remember seeing a lot of positive reviews on Twitter, though I can’t remember if this got a theatrical release in my area. Anyways, I finally watched it, and it’s powerful to say the least. It was really good the first time, but on a rewatch, I loved it even more, and will boldly say that this is a borderline masterpiece. Let's also consider that this is Eva Victor’s directorial debut, and they wrote it, and they starred in it. Sometimes that can be something that totally ruins a film, but in this case, it completely works out. The story is very grounded and down to earth, and the whole thing is one of the most realistic pieces of writing I’ve ever seen. Even if you’ve never been in the situation that Agnes has been in, you still feel completely connected with her. It’s a very deep film, though it doesn’t always feel like it. Also, the comedy-drama combo is priceless. Despite the serious nature of the story, it’s still wickedly hilarious, and very awkward at times (but in the funniest way possible). While some scenes smack you in the face, others leave you cackling uncontrollably. Well, it depends on your humor. That’s how it was for me. Lastly, the acting was phenomenal, especially from Eva Victor and Naomi Ackie. Those two completely make this film. Lucas Hedges is also really good and I’m glad to see him in more things. The entire cast is fantastic, even the unlikable characters. Overall, this was one of the best films of the year, and I wish it was being recognized more in the awards season. It really is good. I would recommend it to all drama/dark comedy fans. This film is officially Berry Approved, so go watch it now!
