Carson arrived at the “CBS Mornings” show in New York City as part of her press tour, wearing a green dress from Elie Saab’s Ready-to-Wear Fall/Winter 2023-2024 collection. 

The dress featured a plunging V-neckline and long, fitted sleeves. An oversized floral embellishment adorned her neck, combining vibrant yellows and soft whites. She completed the look with deep green knee-high boots and a matching bag.

On Sunday, Carson wore another ensemble, a black dress that featured a fitted silhouette with structured shoulders. She paired the dress with long leather gloves, sheer black stockings and pointed-toe pumps.

Carson has been actively promoting her new film, “The Life List,” engaging in interviews and public appearances to drum up excitement. 

Directed by Adam Brooks, the film is adapted from Lori Nelson Spielman’s best-selling novel of the same name. It tells the story of Alex (Carson), a young woman who sets out on a transformative journey to fulfill her late mother’s bucket list. Along the way, she reconnects with herself and rediscovers the importance of dreams and aspirations. 

The film also stars Kyle Allen, Connie Britton, Marianne Rendon, Jose Zuniga, Rachel Zeiger-Haag, and others, with Liza Chasin serving as producer under 3dot Productions.

The actress took to Instagram to share her appreciation for her co-stars. She posted a photo featuring Kyle Allen and Sebastian De Souza, along with the caption: “The best guys I could ever hope to make a movie with. I love you, my Kyle and Seb. What a joy it is to share this journey with you.”

She also shared a picture with Britton and said: “Ladies and Gentlemen, THE Connie Britton. Connie, I can’t express how happy my heart is to share our film with the world so soon. You are sunshine. And it’s been my honor and joy to play your daughter (sic).”

Review: ‘Sorry, Baby’ by Eva Victor

  • Victor makes a deliberate narrative choice; we never witness the violence of what happens to her character

There is a bravery in “Sorry, Baby” that comes not from what the film shows, but from what it withholds. 

Written, directed by, and starring Eva Victor, it is one of the most talked-about indie films of the year, winning the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at Sundance and gathering momentum with nominations, including nods at the Golden Globes and Gotham Awards. 

The film is both incisive and tender in its exploration of trauma, friendship, and the long, winding road toward healing. It follows Agnes, a young professor of literature trying to pick up the pieces after a disturbing incident in grad school. 

Victor makes a deliberate narrative choice; we never witness the violence of what happens to her character. The story centers on Agnes’ perspective in her own words, even as she struggles to name it at various points in the film. 

There is a generosity to Victor’s storytelling and a refusal to reduce the narrative to trauma alone. Instead we witness the breadth of human experience, from heartbreak and loneliness to joy and the sustaining power of friendship. These themes are supported by dialogue and camerawork that incorporates silences and stillness as much as the power of words and movement. 

The film captures the messy, beautiful ways people care for one another. Supporting performances — particularly by “Mickey 17” actor Naomi Ackie who plays the best friend Lydia — and encounters with strangers and a kitten, reinforce the story’s celebration of solidarity and community. 

“Sorry, Baby” reminds us that human resilience is rarely entirely solitary; it is nurtured through acts of care, intimacy and tenderness.

A pivotal scene between Agnes and her friend’s newborn inspires the film’s title. A single, reassuring line gently speaks a pure and simple truth: “I know you’re scared … but you’re OK.” 

It is a reminder that in the end, no matter how dark life gets, it goes on, and so does the human capacity to love.
