Greta Gerwig’s Directorial Movies Ranked Per Worldwide Box Office Collection (Photo Credit – Prime Video)

The multi-hyphenated star, Greta Gerwig, is an American actress, playwright, screenwriter, and director. Even though she began her career with mumblecore movies, Gerwig slowly expanded her excellence in acting to co-writing and ultimately to directing big studio projects, including films like Barbie. She has starred in movies like Frances Ha, Damsels in Distress, To Rome with Love, No Strings Attached, and many more.

However, with Lady Bird, which was released in 2017, Gerwig established herself in the world of direction. She has directed three movies so far, and her next one is reportedly in production. After gaining massive success with her last film, Barbie, the 41-year-old actress-turned-director has shifted her focus to fantasy projects and is now working on an adaptation of the popular saga, The Chronicles of Narnia.

However, before discussing more about the new Narnia movies,...

Eva Victor's "Sorry, Baby" is one of the most inspired feature directorial debuts in recent memory — effortlessly funny with their matter-of-fact sense of humor one moment, and viscerally gutting the next. As the writer, director, and star of a deeply personal story, Victor has crafted a work that is mesmerizing in its humanity, honesty, and tenderness. The movie is quietly staggering, a warm hug to keep you safe from the tragedy lingering in the wings. It's frankly astonishing to recognize that Victor's debut is also one of the best films of the year, and whatever they do next should excite film lovers the world over.

Told in a non-linear fashion, "Sorry, Baby" is the story of Agnes (Victor) and Lydie (Naomi Ackie), two best friends who serve as each other's port in a storm, and showcase their platonic love for each other after Agnes endures the unthinkable while the...

This weekend’s top 10 starts with Superman from Warner Bros./DC and ends with Materialists from A24, a romantic comedy-drama from Celine Song now in week 5. In between is populated by big guns from Universal, Disney, Sony and Paramount from a Jurassic to a Mission: Impossible amid a promised renaissance of Hollywood tentpoles.

Materialists grossed $720k on 589 screens for an estimated three-day cume pushing $35.2 million — great staying power for a film that Deadline’s review called “sublime” starring Dakota Johnson as a high-end New York City matchmaker with Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal as former and new love interests.

Song burst on the scene in 2023 with her lauded, Oscar-nominated debut feature Past Lives, also from A24.

Meanwhile, the distributor’s Sorry, Baby, an acclaimed directorial debut by Eva Victor, continued to expand in week 3 adding 26 theaters for a total of 40. The gross is terrific at $230k with a cume pushing $600k.

Exclusive: Tonia Davis, Will Graham and Max Linsky are opening the doors to Invitation Media, a new multiplatform production company.

The group starts with a first-look TV deal at Amazon MGM Studios and an upcoming film – the Vietnam War thriller Trust the Man with Daniel Radcliffe and Lucas Hedges — as well as an audio partnership with the Washington Post. Graham is directing Trust the Man and also producing with Davis and Linsky.

Under the Invitation Media banner, the partners also are executive producing the series Spy Coast, which is in development with Amazon MGM Studios and based on Tess Gerritsen’s novel.

Invitation Media will operate from Los Angeles and New York and is repped by UTA and Kaplan Perrone.

More projects and partnerships will be announced this summer.

“At an uncertain time for our industry, we wanted to team up and send a message of optimism,” said the founders of Invitation Media.

Fans are rocking out to This Is Spinal Tap over the holiday weekend.

The beloved 1984 Rob Reiner mockumentary of a fictional British rock band on a disastrous U.S. tour, restored and remastered, will pull in an estimated $931.7k at 1,015 locations Saturday and Sunday, no. 10 at the domestic box office. The Bleecker Street and Fathom release is looking at $138k on Monday for a total of $1.069 million over its three-day special engagement with limited showtimes.

Due to fan demand, the distributors said, they are adding additional playdates July 8, 9 and 10.

Chicago – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com audio film review for “Sorry, Baby,” the debut film from writer/director and lead actor Eva Victor, as she riffs on the sociatal atmosphere surrounding a woman reporting a sexual assault. In theaters on July 4th, see local listings.

Victor portrays the lead role of Agnes, a professor at a small liberal arts college. When her mentor and department head Decker (Louis Cancelmi) decides to move away, his parting act to Agnes is one of sexual assault. What follows is the path of such a crime in the atmosphere that occurs when Agnes reports it, involving her friends Lydie (Naomi Ackle), Gavin (Lucas Hedges) and Pete (John Carroll Lynch). Can there be redemption within such a horrendous consequence?

”Sorry Baby” is in theaters on July 4th. See local listings. Featuring Eva Victor, Louis Cancelmi, Naomi Ackle, Lucas Hedges and John Carroll Lynch. Written and directed by Eva Victor.

The world premiere of a new animated short film directed by Renée Zellweger, called They, six James Bond movies starring the late Sean Connery screened in a special strand, and “In Conversation” events with the likes of Andrew and Kevin Macdonald, Andrea Arnold, Ben Wheatley and Andy Starke, and Nia DaCosta will all be part of this year’s 78th edition of the Edinburgh International Film Festival.

Among the movies in the program this year are the likes of Piotr Winiewicz’s About a Hero with Vicky Krieps, which was written by an AI system trained in Werner Herzog’s works, Eddie Marsan and Sam Claflin-starring “brooding, stylish thriller” All the Devils Are Here from Barnaby Roper, Jan-Ole Gerster’s Islands, “a mysterious and Highsmith-esque existential thriller,” Urška Djukic’s debut feature and coming-of-age film Little Trouble Girls, and Elliot Tuttle’s Blue Film, starring Kieron Moore and Reed Birney.

Amid the blockbuster-fueled summer, first-time director Eva Victor has delivered one of the most critically acclaimed movies of the year, Sorry, Baby, which has already developed some Oscar buzz. Backed by A24 and Pastel Productions, the movie has proven to be an impeccable start to Victor’s directorial venture.

Featuring a cast that includes Lucas Hedges, Naomi Ackie, who previously appeared in this year’s Mickey 17, and Agnes herself in the lead, the movie has opened to a limited release and will expand nationwide on July 18.

Is ‘Sorry, Baby’ currently streaming? Where to Watch It?

While Netflix and other streaming giants have trained audiences to watch movies that don’t typically boost a blockbuster budget from the comfort of their home, Sorry, Baby hasn’t nabbed a streaming release yet. Having opened to glowing reviews following its Sundance debut, the movie opened in select theatres on 27 June, with a...

A24’s Sorry, Baby had a solid limited opening in 4 locations with about $86.5k (a per theater average of $21.6k) for Eva Victor’s critically acclaimed directorial debut. It was the highest psa for a new release this weekend, one dominated by big studio fare.

Sorry, Baby (Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes at 96%), a breakout at Sundance, is being lauded as one of the best debuts, and best films, of the year. Victor also wrote and stars in the dark comedy with Naomie Ackie and Academy Award nominee Lucas Hedges. It will continue to expand over the next few weeks and roll into the summer.

Noting the distributor’s Materialists by Celine Song continued a breakout run for a weekend gross approaching $3 million and a cume crossing $30 million in week 3 on 1,931 screens. At no. 8, it’s the only indie to hit the popping top 10 led by F1.

The New York Times just released a list of the top 100 movies, which were some of the most influential films in the 21st century. Among them, Korean director Bong Joon Ho’s Parasite was hailed as the movie of the century, while several other movies were placed at various ranks.

Notably, some very famous movies that left a long-lasting impression on the culture and got people talking about them were surprisingly not added to the top 100 films of the 21st century list! So, here are 10 movies that we think should have been a part of the list but unfortunately weren’t.

10. Killers of the Flower Moon A still from Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon | Credits: Apple Studios

Based on the real-life incident of the murders of the members of the Osage community, one of the best Martin Scorsese-directed films starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro in leading roles.

A24’s black comedy Sorry, Baby, comedian and actor Eva Victor‘s feature writing and directing debut produced by Barry Jenkins, opens at Lincoln Square and Angelika in NY, and the Grove and Century City in L.A.. This was one of the buzziest titles in Sundance and one of the few there to sell in a major deal — for about $8 million.

“A star is born, and so is a born filmmaker,” said Deadline’s review, with Pete Hammond calling it “one of the most assured and heartfelt films I have seen in a very long time.” It went on to close the Directors’ Fortnight section at Cannes.

The film lands amid a box office boom with another big weekend led by F1 and M3GAN 2.0. Indie distributors have been carefully evaluating whether the rising tide of the past few months lifts all boats and has been rather upbeat so far.

Something’s wrong with Agnes. It’s hard to pinpoint, at first. She’s got a lot going on. Agnes is smart, wicked funny, and, given she’s just been promoted to a full-time English professor at the college where she works, what you might traditionally characterize as successful. It’s the same northeastern liberal arts university where she met her best friend, Lydie (Naomi Ackie), who is visiting for the weekend and to whom Agnes is supremely loyal. There’s a possible neighbors-with-benefits situation happening with the cute guy...

Life goes on, as they say. But sometimes, it can be pretty hard to go with it; such is the case for Agnes in “Sorry, Baby.”

A24’s latest film, written and directed by Eva Victor, also stars Victor as Agnes, who faces a life-altering event. Though everyone around her caries on with life as usual, she can’t. It’s not until a close friend visits her that Agnes realizes the rut she’s in, and starts to figure out how to start her life back up again.

Here’s everything you need to know about the film.

What is the release date?

“Sorry, Baby” hits select theaters on June 27. The film will go wide on July 18. You can see if a theater near you is part of the limited release below:

It takes a tremendous amount of courage to be the singular voice behind a debut feature, as it’s often the only opportunity for young artists to convey their artistic perspective to an industry of skeptics. This bravery is even more impressive in the case of “Sorry, Baby” (2025), as Eva Victor writes, directs, and stars in this remarkably intimate study of a young woman’s experience with assault. “Sorry, Baby” feels like the work of a playwright, as its minimalistic locations and extended dialogue scenes reflect the type of creativity used by those with relatively few resources. It also tackles tremendously upsetting material, which required Victor to both contend with difficult conversations and open herself up to criticism based on the way she depicts trauma.

Victor stars in the role of Agnes, an aspiring professor of literature who reconnects with her best friend, Lydie (Naomi Ackie), who is expecting a child with her partner.

Note: This interview was originally published as part of our 2025 Sundance coverage. Sorry, Baby opens in theaters on June 27.

Agnes’ (Eva Victor) life is defined by a sense of stagnancy. Four years after completing grad school in rural New England, she’s living in the same house and going to the same building, only now as a professor. Whatever true joy she seems to experience is infrequent visits from her best friend and former roommate Lydie (Naomi Ackie), who has moved on, starting a family in New York City. As Victor assiduously peels back the layers of her sharp, unnerving, witty feature debut Sorry, Baby, the reason for being stuck in time becomes clear: in her final days of grad school she was raped by her advisor, who quickly deserted the town, leaving no culpability and even less sense of justice or closure.

In E. Lockhart’s “We Were Liars,” Gatwick Patil is an outsider. He and his uncle are the only people on Beechwood Island not descended from the illustrious Sinclairs, a mismatched puzzle piece in their privileged, white world.

The same could be said of Shubham Maheshwari, who brings the beloved character to life in Prime Video’s eight-episode adaptation; an economics major from Dubai who auditioned via Zoom after an open casting call and then ended up in Nova Scotia for an absolute crash course in TV production.

But as a credit to the series, Maheshwari never felt like an outsider. He certainly felt like the baby and the new kid, but he also felt empowered by Lockhart, by showrunners Carina Adly MacKenzie and Julie Plec, by Rahul Kohli (who plays Gat’s uncle Ed), and by experienced contemporaries Emily Alyn Lind, Esther McGregor, and Joseph Zada.

Agnes intenta seguir adelante. © A24

A24 ha publicado el primer tráiler y póster de la película Sorry, Baby, la ópera prima de Eva Victor producida por Barry Jenkins que conquistó a la crítica en el pasado Festival de Sundance.

La sinopsis oficial publicada por A24 apenas entra en detalles: «Algo malo le pasó a Agnes. Pero la vida sigue… al menos para todos los que la rodean». Lo que no dice, y que conviene saber, es que Agnes es una profesora universitaria que sigue superando un incidente de agresión sexual que tuvo lugar hace tres años en su actual campus, cuando era estudiante de posgrado.

La misma Eva Victor (Billions) protagoniza la película junto a Naomi Ackie (Mickey 17), Lucas Hedges (Manchester frente al mar), John Carroll Lynch (El fundador), Louis Cancelmi (Asesinato en el fin del mundo) y Kelly McCormack (George & Tammy).

Victor ha dicho: «No quería escribir sobre la violencia o la agresión específicamente,...

When I watched the Sorry, Baby trailer, I was pretty much expecting indie vibes and awkward charm, but what I got was a full-on chaos storm named Eva Victor. Her energy was unhinged in the best way. It made me feel like we’ve been sleeping on a comedic powerhouse who delivers meltdowns with surgical precision and side-eyes that could level a room.

If the trailer’s anything to go by, she’s about to go from underrated Twitter legend to big-screen scene-stealer real fast. And frankly, it’s about damn time we give her flowers.

When “Sorry, Baby” premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, it was one of the event’s few sensations and sparked a major bidding war between Neon, Mubi and Searchlight Pictures.

Ultimately, A24 proved victorious, setting the film for a June 27 theatrical release. And now, the studio has dropped the first trailer for the film, which you can watch below.

“Sorry, Baby” marks the directorial debut of writer/director Eva Victor, a journalist, actress and content creator. She also stars in the feature alongside Naomi Ackie, Lucas Hedges, John Carroll Lynch and Kelly McCormack.

In the film, Victor plays Agnes, a college professor in a small Northeastern town who is coming to terms with a sexual assault that happened years earlier.

A24 has made a name for itself for producing critically acclaimed films and shows. The same trend continues with a new Sundance darling: Sorry, Baby.

The production company just released the first trailer for Sorry, Baby, one of the hits at this year's Sundance Film Festival in January ahead of the film's release this summer. The black comedy-drama was sold in a huge deal for $8 million to A24, and it marks Eva Victor's directorial debut.

A24 has just released the first trailer for Sorry, Baby. The film stars Eva Victor, Naomi Ackie, Lucas Hedges, John Carroll Lynch, Louis Cancelmi, and Kelly McCormack. Eva Victor is pulling triple duty as she also wrote and directed the film. The logline reads, “Something bad happened to Agnes. But life goes on… for everyone around her, at least.” The trailer for the film it isn’t shy to showcase all the positive reception that it has gotten from early festival screenings.

Sorry, Baby walked away from Sundance with one of the buzziest deals of the fest. While the $8 million shelled out for it didn’t set any records, it was more who bought it that made an impression, with it being nabbed by A24. Perhaps the only studio with a cult following, its purchase all but guarantees Sorry, Baby is going to connect with hip audiences in a big way.

"We know what you're going through, we are women." "What...?" A24 has unveiled an official trailer for an acclaimed indie film titled Sorry, Baby, from filmmaker Eva Victor who is making her feature debut as a writer & director & star in this Sundance hit. The film premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival and was heralded as one of the best films of the fest with exceptional reviews all-around (it's currently at 95% on Rt). The only brief synopsis states very vaguely: Something bad happened to Agnes. But life goes on… for everyone around her, at least. Eva Victor stars in a very personal story examining her life before and after a traumatic Sa incident. The small indie cast includes Naomi Ackie, Lucas Hedges, Kelly Mcormack, Louis Cancelmi, Hettienne Park, and John Carroll Lynch.

Eva Victor’s feature directing debut “Sorry, Baby” — which the filmmaker also wrote and stars in — was the jewel of the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. A24 bought the film before the festival’s end, where this poignant and incisive look at an academic recovering from trauma won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award out of the U.S. Dramatic Competition. “Sorry, Baby” will hit U.S. theaters on June 27 from A24 after opening the Seattle International Film Festival for one last festival bow. The film will also close this year’s Cannes Directors’ Fortnight, the sidebar that regularly honors boundary-pushing filmmakers. Watch the trailer below.

The finest narrative film to emerge from the Sundance Film Festival this year, Eva Victor’s directorial debut Sorry Baby non-chronologically follows the writer-director as a woman reeling from a traumatic event in her past. Backed by Barry Jenkins and Adele Romanski’s Pastel, who also produced Aftersun, All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt, and Never Rarely Sometimes Always, we recently featured the film in our summer movie preview. With a cast also including Naomi Ackie, Lucas Hedges, John Carroll Lynch, Louis Cancelmi, and Kelly McCormack, A24 has now released the first trailer ahead of a June 27 release.

I said in my Sundance review, “Navigating the pieces of a shattered life, Victor (who both wrote and directed the film) handles such delicate subject matter with not only piercing, emotional insight but a sense of surprising humor in a miracle of tone and storytelling. The themes her debut explores––how sexual...

Humanity may be on the fritz, but you can still trust Siff to move the needle. On Wednesday, April 23, the Seattle International Film Festival announced its programming lineup for the 51st edition of the annual event.

Curated by Julien Rejl, Directors’ Fortnight will open with “Enzo,” a film directed by Robin Campillo (“Bpm Beats Per Minute).” Campillo stepped in at the helm after Laurent Cantet, his longtime friend and collaborator, died in April.

With the rumors and speculations soaring around the upcoming final installment (Star Trek 4 ) of the J.J. Abrams-produced Star Trek franchise, which is more than likely to include the reprise of the Enterprise crew portrayed by Chris Pine (Captain Kirk), Zachary Quinto (Spock), Zoe Saldana (Lt. Uhura), and others. Despite Quinto’s convincing performance as Spock in the Kelvin timeline, should Star Trek creators decide to go in a different direction with a new cast, here are four talented Oscar-nominated actors who could take on the role of the archetypal Vulcan.

1. Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Actor)

28-year-old Kodi Smit-McPhee has been racking up acting accolades since his feature film debut at age 11 with co-star Eric Bana in Romulus, May Father, for which he [Smit-McPhee] received the Young Actor’s Award from the Australian Film Institute.

A while ago DC Studios officially greenlit Clayface, a horror-themed film about a struggling B-movie actor who uses a mysterious substance to stay relevant—only to transform into a creature made entirely of clay.

The script was written by Flanagan. Safran compared the film’s tone to the 1986 horror classic The Fly. However, due to Flanagan’s commitments to his upcoming The Exorcist movie (2026) and a planned Carrie TV series, he was unable to direct.

Instead recently, James Watkins was hired to take on directing duties, with filming expected to begin later that year. Reeves is also involved as a producer alongside Lynn Harris through his production company, 6th & Idaho Productions.

Gunn and Safran clarified that Alan Tudyk, who voiced Clayface in Creature Commandos, would not reprise the role for this film, as his voice work was not considered one of his main Dcu roles.

Daniel Radcliffe and Lucas Hedges will headline Vietnam war film Trust The Man – more on the new movie right here.

I’m not entirely sure that Daniel Radcliffe gets quite the level of credit he deserves for the sheer boldness of his post-Harry Potter career choices. Not every film has worked, but he’s sought out some offbeat material, taken a chance on directors, and put together a body of work that suggests his box office days are behind him, but his best film isn’t. Radcliffe, remember, teamed up with director duo the Daniels on feature debut Swiss Army Man (the farting corpse movie). Next movie down, the Daniels were picking up Best Picture at the Oscars for Everything Everywhere All At Once.

Back to Daniel Radcliffe, though.

Next up, he’s tackling a Vietnam war movie, opposite Lucas Hedges. The pair of them are set to star in Trust The Man,...

Daniel Radcliffe started his career as a child actor and had his big break as the titular character in Harry Potter, who he played for ten years between 2001 and 2011 in eight films. The actor has been continuously switching from stage work to films and has revealed his next role.

Daniel Radcliffe won his first Tony Award in the summer of 2024 for the role in Merrily We Roll Along. However, he's now back to movies, with several roles lined up. Per Deadline, Radcliffe joined the Vietnam War thriller Trust the Man, with Will Graham set to direct.
