The Ballad of Wallis Island is a new diegetic musical about an eccentric lottery winner named Charles, played by Tim Key, who invites his favorite musician named Herb, played by Tom Basden, to play an exclusive private gig. The only problem is Charles hasn’t told Herb that he’s also invited Herb’s ex-bandmate and ex-girlfriend, Nell, who is played by Carey Mulligan. Tom Basden and Tim Key co-wrote the film, which will be in theaters on March 28th this year, we had the chance to watch it at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival.

Sorry, Baby, which premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, comes from first-time filmmaker Eva Victor, who writes, directs and stars in this film about Agnes, who had something bad happen to her. The movie won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award but it also felt like the movie with the best buzz at Sundance and sold to A24 for a solid $8 million. Did Sorry, Baby earn its hype out of Sundance?
