With this film, Victor inhabits the naked uncertainty that hangs in the air after a punchline, and asks us to join them there.

Sorry, Baby is very funny in an inviting, unforced way -- like being welcomed into a group of close friends and their in-jokes. But for all the skittish, appealingly gauche humour, this feature has a serious core.

This is a different approach to trauma drama. Parts of it are too heavy-handed but overall this film, co-produced by Barry Jenkins, director of the 2016 Oscar winner Moonlight, is a strong debut feature.

Sorry, Baby is less a film where things happen, so much as it is one where we follow Agnes at the different points in their life when they pause — or are forced to pause — to contemplate the bare, boring reality of what has happened to them.
