Sorry, Baby : A Frame in Twos… Special Screening at PVR
Sorry, Baby
On 7th August, 2025, i was invited to a special screening of the movie Sorry, Baby. The PVR team had curated the India Premiere for audiences that have worked on causes of women empowerment and gender issues. The film has won many accolades at the Sundance Film Festival, nominations at Golden Globe and critics Choice Award. The director, Eva Victor, won the Best Directorial Debut award from the National Board of Review.
The movie stars 31 years old Eva Victor in the role of Agnes, and Naomi Ackie, BAFTA winning actress who has played the role of Lydie, Agnes’ friend. The plot is based in rural New England, where Agnes faces assault. This is a story of resilience and bonding. The acting evoked real responses and emotions from the viewers. Many of us women could find certain instances highly relatable and even having suffered abuses similar in nature.
I was excited to connect with filmmakers and people who had discernment of the sensitivity of the issues raised in Sorry, Baby. The film is important in highlighting the importance of healthy interaction and support system to help women recover. Many suffer in silence, and “Sorry, Baby” aims to show how the presence of loved ones can make a difference in our lives when healing from traumas.
Sorry, Baby : A photo blog
Through this photo blog, i share the frames which stood out to me. I clicked the photos in real time during the movie itself.
Sorry, Baby : A frame in twos
The underlying essence of most of my frames is the presence of two characters throughout the movie. Some silhouettes also evoke a sense of mystery and awe. The cinematography was simple yet brilliant, spelling out a powerful narrative and raw emotions. The “frames in twos” represent my unique perspective formed while looking at the movie and the way the plot unfolded…
“Sorry, Baby” for what women have to suffer. But still hoping that she’ll be OK…
Sorry, Baby – The Organizing Partners
The screening was held in association with Sakshi Foundation and CREA. The Rani Fund was the main entity behind the screening. It was heartening to see the response from the audiences who are associated with the causes. In India, more than 80 cases of rape are registered daily. The sad state of affairs can only be improved with acceptance and better understanding.
I am thankful to the PVR Director’s Cut team for the invitation and for organizing the screening of a critically acclaimed, meaningful movie! Their movie cineplex in New Delhi, India offers the best viewing experience, amenities and services.
