Two Films Featuring Complex Female Characters
Julia Roberts and Rose Byrne deliver spectacular performances in Luca Guadagnino's "After the Hunt" and Mary Bronstein's "If I Had Legs I’d Kick You," respectively.
According to critic Sean Burns, these films offer a rare treat: substantial roles for women. He notes that Julia Roberts and Rose Byrne play "flinty, difficult characters blessedly unconcerned with eliciting the audience’s sympathies."
- "After the Hunt" is an "entertainingly trashy, star-studded provocation"
- "If I Had Legs I’d Kick You" is an "indie psychodrama boasting some of the most audacious laughs in recent memory"
getting a couple of barn-burners in the same week is a cause for celebration
