If the name Eva Victor is unfamiliar to you, it may not be for long. A winning, at times strikingly strong big-screen debut, Sorry, Baby positions the writer/director/star as a triple threat, with a specific, fully formed voice blending irony and earnestness to beguiling effect. Despite some familiar U.S. indie beats (Sundance is Sundance), the film is a disarmingly frank, intimate spin on the female “traumedy” — perceptive and funny and full of feeling.

Shell is a film made with the intention of being a guilty pleasure. It wants to be the film one would encounter on cable in the middle of the day or late at night. Many films have become popular this way, especially before the days of streaming: scrappy little films with a campy sense of humor and talented cast getting to play around and stretch their acting muscles in ways that feel low-stakes for their career.

On Swift Horses begins by showing us two images: sex and a deck of cards. Muriel ( Daisy Edgar-Jones) is making love to Lee ( Will Poulter), a soldier on leave from Korea. Meanwhile, Lee's brother Julius ( Jacob Elordi) has already been discharged from the war and is on his way to meet them both in Kansas, with only his bag and those cards. It's almost Christmas and Lee wants Muriel to marry him, but she still hasn't given her answer. Even so, the mood between them is light and fun.
