ON SALE SUNDAY 14 SEPTEMBER AT 8AM

When old college roommates Agnes [Eva Victor who also directs] and [Lydie Naomi Ackie] reunite for a short break, it’s a joyous occasion: two best friends enjoying some rare time together. Lydie, however, is also one of the only people Agnes can speak to about a past trauma - that she was sexually assaulted by a former mentor. Years on, Agnes is now a successful college professor, but she is still living with the emotional consequences of that assault.

Eva Victor’s directorial debut pulls off a rare, impressive balancing act - candidly dealing with the trauma of sexual assault, while also proving a warm and funny portrayal of companionship, kindness and survival. This is an eloquent and accomplished film, with a remarkable lead performance from Victor herself.

Winner - Sundance Film Festival, 2025 - Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award

“There’s a reason, even if I can’t see it, that I’m alive,” Agatha says late into the movie. Well put. Pay attention. One good reason we all have to remain upright is this clever, original, warm cinematic balm. - Donald Clarke, Irish Times

The subject matter is difficult; the handling feels at once starkly honest and gossamer delicate. It also makes you laugh. - Financial Times

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

The tone is very Fleabag with a dash of Greta Gerwig’s Frances Ha. - The Times [UK]

This might be a film about the stubbornness of pain -- and yet, it holds a boundless capacity to heal. - Independent [UK]
