“Sorry, Baby” is one of my favorite movies of 2025. Eva Victor’s directorial debut is funny and emotionally stirring. If you want a change of pace from big summer blockbusters, “Sorry, Baby” is a contained story backed by great performances @huewatchedit.bsky.social

'Sorry, Baby' wrestles with grief and writer-director Eva Victor observes a tragic event through a gentle lens.

Superhero movies -- all the big blockbuster franchises actually, are made for too much money to be so mid to outright bad. I think we should be harder on them given the resources behind them and the pop cultural oxygen they take up.
