If I Had Legs I'd Kick You
It’s motherhood season out here. The Chronology of Water, Die My Love, and now this. This pays its dues to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind too. Hole-y unsane.
It’s about 1 hour of close ups on Rose Byrne’s face, and extremely close, almost eyes and forehead.
Conan O’Brien plays a punchable therapist, truly annoying, almost trolling at spaces. Christian Slater is just a cameo, with an uniform. A$AP Rocky, Rihanna’s husband, doesn’t do much either. The kid is just a disembodied voice for most of the film, her cute face is just the final climax for a psychotic ordeal.
I see where some Safdie brother took the idea of a bathtub crashing through the ceiling in Marty Supreme, he’s credited as producer here.
This is my place for ramblings about sequences of images that exploit the human visual limitation know as persistence of vision.
