Little Rock, Arkansas – Film lovers in Arkansas are in for a unique treat this June as the Arkansas Cinema Society (ACS) teams up with entertainment powerhouse A24 to host a special sneak preview of Sorry, Baby, one of the year’s most talked-about new films. The free screening will take place on June 18 at the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts (AMFA), giving local audiences an early look at the film before its nationwide theatrical release.
Sorry, Baby follows the story of Agnes, a woman navigating life in the aftermath of a traumatic experience. As she quietly drifts through her daily routines, the unexpected visit of a close friend shakes her out of her emotional limbo. What follows is a tender, quietly intense exploration of memory, grief, and rediscovery.
The film has already made waves in the global cinema world, having premiered earlier this year at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. It took home the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award and was nominated for the festival’s prestigious Grand Jury Prize. The film also screened at Cannes, where it received the Chicago and Seattle Critics Awards—further establishing its place among this year’s standout independent releases.
“ACS is excited to welcome audiences back to our Sneaks Series with A24’s upcoming film Sorry, Baby,” said ACS Executive Director Kathryn Tucker. “This special advance screening is a chance for our community to experience one of the year’s most buzzed-about films before its theatrical release. It’s a real treat that we get to show a film that screened at Sundance and Cannes for our audience. It’s exactly what the Sneak Series is all about—bringing bold, boundary-pushing cinema to Arkansas first.”
As part of the Sneaks Series, the event is designed to bring high-quality, cutting-edge filmmaking to Arkansas audiences ahead of the mainstream release calendar. Previous Sneaks events have featured a mix of crowd-pleasing indies and ambitious auteur-driven projects, helping to make Arkansas a surprising but welcome early stop on the film festival circuit.
Guests attending the June 18 screening will also be treated to light refreshments, including snacks and cocktails, before the film begins at 6:30 p.m. Admission is free, but attendees are encouraged to reserve a seat online in advance due to expected high interest.
With Sorry, Baby generating growing buzz for its raw emotional power and quiet intensity, the ACS screening represents a rare chance to see a rising festival favorite before it hits the wider spotlight. Whether you’re a devoted film aficionado or just curious about the latest in independent cinema, this sneak peek promises to be a memorable evening.
