Victor's debut film, 'Sorry, Baby', premiered at Sundance and is a masterful portrayal of a woman grappling with the aftermath of sexual assault. The film avoids melodrama, instead focusing on the subtle and profound ways the trauma shapes Agnes's life. Through a non-linear narrative and Agnes's keen observations, the film explores themes of loss, resilience, and the complexities of healing.
Sorry, Baby proves that assumption wrong. Victor’s film, which premiered here at the Sundance Film Festival on Monday, is a meticulously crafted wonder, the most auspicious debut I’ve seen here this year. Victor maintains the oddball humor that first endeared her to her followers, but she also incorporates whole other, previously unseen facets of her considerable talent.
Victor stages all this in modest vignettes, most of them wryly amusing with an undercurrent of sadness. The film resists psychological exposition, preferring instead to let us infer things about Agnes’s life through well-placed context clues. Sorry, Baby is carefully written and directed, patient and focused and confident in its own peculiar rhythms. Victor shadowed another director for a time before making her own film, and shot a few test scenes to figure some things out.
