Two Films Focus on Put-Together Women Falling Apart
Julia Roberts and Rose Byrne deliver two of the more spectacular performances this year, playing flinty, difficult characters in Luca Guadagnino's "After the Hunt" and Mary Bronstein's "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You," notes critic Sean Burns.
These roles are a cause for celebration, as substantial roles for women are scarce in movies today.
- Luca Guadagnino's "After the Hunt" is an entertainingly trashy, star-studded provocation.
- Mary Bronstein's "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You" is an indie psychodrama with audacious laughs.
Julia Roberts and Rose Byrne deliver two of the more spectacular performances you’re going to see this year, playing flinty, difficult characters blessedly unconcerned with eliciting the audience’s sympathies.
Author's summary: Two films showcase women's complex characters.
