Sorry, Baby
Oof. Getting to Sorry, Baby post-Oscars now, but this may have been the biggest snub of 2025. Julia Roberts put everyone on notice as to how good this film was at the Golden Globes in her award presentation, and well, Julia Roberts is never wrong, is she? It’s subject matter is heavy, but Eva Victor handles it with so much grace and humor, and the character she portrays feels very real, and unique. Must watch for cinephiles.

Truly a shame this didn’t get any 2025 Oscar attention! Excellent acting, pacing, and storytelling. The nonlinear structure carried a lot of meaning and really transformed the story. The way this continues to subvert your expectations is really something. I hope we see more from Eva Victor!

A24 film that popped up on HBO and needing to fill up a Sunday, so I gave it a watch. I had no idea what I was getting myself into with this one, and emotionally took me out of the rest of the day. An extremely heavy film with a lot of dark humor that is filmed beautifully and scored great. Anyone who is trying to watch the best films of the year, this needs to be on there!
