IF I HAD LEGS I'D KICK YOU (ticket)
With her life crashing down around her, Linda attempts to navigate her child's mysterious illness, her absent husband, a missing person, an increasingly hostile relationship with her therapist and her job. It’s a darkly funny, harrowing whirlwind of an experience and the sensational performance from Rose Byrne as the exhausted Linda keeps you rooting for her throughout.
— Watershed Summary
"Wrenching and at times suffocating, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You is a howl of desperation spiked with jagged humor."
★★★★★ Jeannette Catsoulis, The New York Times
"Byrne’s high-wire act remains riveting ... It’s a bruising performance, digging deep into the intense pressure and isolation that can sometimes accompany motherhood.
★★★★ David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
THE MOMENT (ticket)
"Following Charli at the tail end of her pop culture-shifting album/ 'Brat Summer' phenomenon, and the apex of her fame, we see the singer play a self-described 'hell version' of herself"
— Watershed Summary
"A blistering take-down of the social media-driven celebrity culture, The Moment combines the anxiety-inducing mayhem of If I Had Legs I’d Kick You and the omnishambles clusterfuck of The Thick of It. It works because the satire’s coming from inside the house."
★★★★ Stephen A. Russell, Time Out
"With a cavalcade of hilarious bits, inspired cinematography, and a willingness to earnestly be about something, The Moment serves as a bold reinvention of a mockumentary genre that, until now, was content to stick with pithy jokes."
★★★★ Caleb Hammond, The Film Stage
