In 1998 Sobieski appeared in the Merchant Ivory film "A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries". Sobieski's performance received praise from critics; Emanuel Levy of "Variety", wrote that, "The graceful Sobieski registers strongly as a potential star, combining physical charm with technical skill."

In 2016, Sobieski confirmed "I don't do movie stuff anymore." Commenting on the reasons for her early retirement to "Us Weekly", Sobieski said, "I am just focused on my kids. Also, ninety percent of acting roles involve so much sexual stuff with other people, and I don't want to do that."

Sobieski now spends her time painting and doing sculpture.
