Rated If I Had Legs I'd Kick You 6/10

An anxiety inducing fever dream of motherly guilt. Rose Byrne lays out all of her emotions for all to bear for both good and bad. Byrne deserves any award nominations this year. It's a raw performance that award givers usually like. On the other hand, the movie's story was more of an afterthought once the premise was laid out. We learn the characters and the details of this specific scenario, then... Well, the cameras just kept rolling. After the movie was over, I realized that the focus was on what the main character (Linda) was going through internally while the world was throwing some of the worst things at her and blaming her for her own circumstances along the way. I kept asking myself if people really are this selfish. Every person Linda encounters blames her for something. So much so, that it became almost (unintentionally) comical. While I sympathized for Linda, she also had no one that was emotionally generous for her.
