Sorry, Baby is an acclaimed comedy-drama written, directed by, and starring Eva Victor as a literature professor rebuilding her life after a sexual assault. Moving through five distinct chapters over several years, the film skips Hollywood-style closure to show a realistic, sometimes funny, and deeply moving journey of healing.

For philosophers who study emotion, the film offers a brilliant look at how a past trauma continuously shifts in meaning over time rather than demanding a neat, logical resolution. It raises fascinating questions about the power of self-acknowledged humour to reframe pain, and illustrates how deep, enduring friendship provides a special kind of emotional support when dealing with trauma.
