What is Sorry, Baby about: A look at Agnes's life

Sorry, Baby is told in five parts that jump between past and present. It starts in Agnes’s house in New England. She teaches at the same college where she attended with Lydie. Her home is full of books and old things and she has a cat she found in a parking lot. Years ago, her thesis advisor, Preston, assaulted her at a party. She never told anyone and just stopped moving forward.

Lydie comes to visit. She is seven months pregnant and lives in New York. When she talks about the baby and her husband, Agnes tries to act normally. She avoids questions about dating but Lydie notices something is wrong.

Agnes has small moments with other people. Gavin lives next door and plays loud music. He tries to talk to her. Natasha is a friend who jokes with her. Pete is a coworker who checks in. But Agnes keeps everything inside.

The film shows short flashbacks of the assault. It was at a party. Preston was someone she trusted. After it happened, she went quiet. She still sees his photo in the faculty directory.

Lydie shares her own fears about becoming a mom. Agnes starts to open up a little. They don’t have a big fight or a big cry. They just talk. Agnes says she feels stuck. Lydie listens.

The movie ends without a big fix. Agnes feeds the cat. She looks at old journals to write something. It shows healing is slow. Friendship helps even when it’s not perfect.

Stream Sorry, Baby on HBO Max on Oct. 30 at 8 p.m. ET. Rent or buy on Amazon Video, Apple TV, YouTube and Fandango at Home.
