“This is the kind of film that sneaks up on you, funny when least expected and affecting without being cloying. And it officially announces the arrival of Victor as a performer and filmmaker to keep on your radar.” NPR “Tough, tender and observational, “Sorry, Baby” suggests that Victor’s promising career has been suitably launched.
