Sorry, Baby

 

Its difficult to get the balance of a portraying a serious issue and finding the absurd comedy within it. Sorry, Baby manages to capture this near impossible feat without diving deeper into complexities and yet the characters within the story feel natural, nothing is forced. There may be one or two encounters within the film that are definite staples of an indie drama but aside from these, the story plays out in a satisfying and above all, realistic way. Perhaps the reason why this film is so bitingly comical is because of its naturalistic characters and their behaviours. 

Three years after being sexually assaulted by her advisor during Grad school, newly appointed college professor Agnes reflects on the time its taken for her to try and heal. She welcomes back her best friend Lydie who helped her through the initial shock, recognising how far both have come in the last few years.
