Cortlyn Kelly RogerEbert.com It may not be something I revisit, that does not detract from its excellent, exhausting execution. Rated: 3.5/4 Sep 2, 2025 Full Review 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 Alex Hudson Exclaim! A reminder that grown-ups are often just as fucked up as their teenage counterparts Rated: 7/10 Sep 13, 2025 Full Review Andrew Webster The Verge It’s a constantly escalating fever dream of stress, in which things just keep getting worse, and it’s done in a way that made me feel truly anxious while watching. Sep 12, 2025 Full Review Joey Moser The Contending Bronstein takes us on a hellishly emotional ride. Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
