Movies like Sorry, Baby

Name: Sorry, Baby
Director: Eva Victor
Genre: Drama, Comedy
Released: 2025-06-27
Duration: 103 min
Cast: Eva Victor, Naomi Ackie, Louis Cancelmi, Kelly McCormack, Lucas Hedges

“Sorry, Baby (2025) is a 2020s French-influenced comedy-drama that frames domestic academic life as a stage for moral reckoning. It stages a mentor-protege clash through restrained mise-en-scène, chiaroscuro lighting, and long takes that transform repetition into psychic pressure. The film argues that cinematic austerity focused on interiority makes post-traumatic professional stasis visible and culturally urgent.”
