Stephen A. Russell Time Out A tour de force of matriarchal fury from Byrne, who fuels Linda with both a groaning air of despair and the rising hackles of a woman who will not be ridden roughshod over Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Richard Brody The New Yorker Bronstein’s relentless direction keeps the camera provocatively close to the character throughout, as if merely looking at her is testing her limits. Byrne’s performance has a hair-trigger impulsiveness to match. Feb 11, 2025 Full Review Nicolas Rapold Financial Times Directed by Mary Bronstein with a connoisseurship for everyday irritation, the film digs fruitfully into the double binds of motherhood... Feb 8, 2025 Full Review Ana Yorke PopMatters At turns prosaic and A24 “quirky”, the plot is elevated to storytelling greatness by Byrne and Bronstein, whose go-for-broke commitment to the protagonist’s distress ensures we never lose sight of her humanity or relatability. Mar 6, 2025 Full Review Stephen Dalton The Film Verdict Starring Rose Byrne on revelatory form, Mary Bronstein’s high-energy dark comedy takes a deep dive into the nightmarish pressures and surreal horrors of motherhood. Feb 25, 2025 Full Review Luis Martínez El Mundo (Spain) Enough charm and bitterness to become a must-see of the year. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Feb 18, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
