Overview

• Following Sundance, Berlin and a recent NYFF stop, Mary Bronstein’s black comedy begins its U.S. theatrical run on Oct. 10.
• Rose Byrne stars as Linda, a Montauk therapist and mother struggling to care for a sick child who relies on a feeding tube while her husband is away.
• Reviews highlight a pressure-cooker aesthetic with extreme close-ups, oppressive sound and surreal comic-horror beats, drawing comparisons to Uncut Gems.
• Produced in part by Josh Safdie and shot by cinematographer Christopher Messina, the film features notable turns from Conan O’Brien, A$AP Rocky, Danielle Macdonald and Christian Slater.
• Critics widely praise Byrne’s raw, career-best performance, with many noting the film’s relentless tone as powerful but polarizing.
