TFF - Sorry, Baby
The confident and remarkable debut from writer and comedian Eva Victor made waves at Sundance, heralding a new voice of exceptional talent. Told in nonlinear chapters, it follows five years in the life of Agnes (expertly embodied by Victor), who's introduced to us as a wry and intelligent young English professor. The film traces her transition from grad student to tenure, but also the before and after of a sexual assault. As she navigates the healing process Agnes is supported by her sprightly best friend, Lydie (Naomi Ackie, Mickey 17), along with an endearingly awkward neighbour (Lucas Hedges, Ladybird, Boy Erased) and a sweet stray kitten. "The film's tone is a real balancing act," says Victor, "one that hopefully feels true to life - funny, with pain. Painful, with funny parts." Their sharp-eyed script creatively circumvents representing the unspeakable while applying a darkly comic wit to difficult subject matter, deftly revealing the absurdity of systems that neglect its victims.
