Ayaqlarım Olsaydı Səni Təpikləyərdim, Я бы тебя пнула, если бы могла, 如果有腿，我会踢你, 다리가 있다면 너를 걷어찰거야, Я не залізна, Nếu Tôi Có Chân, Tôi Sẽ Đá Cô, Si j’en avais la force, Se Eu Tivesse Pernas, Eu Te Chutaria, Ja varētu, es tev spertu, Bacaklarım Olsaydı Sana Tekme Atardım, אם היו לי רגליים הייתי בועטת בך, Jei galėčiau, tau įspirčiau, Si pudiera, te daría una patada, اگه پا داشتم، میزدمت, 如果我有腿，我會踢你, Kopnęłabym cię, gdybym mogła, Kui mul vaid jaksu oleks, Ако имах крака, щях да те ритна, Αν είχα πόδια θα σε κλωτσούσα

The Hamster to Lasagna cut was insane
phenomenal , i’m gonna throw up
The uncut gems for mothers
rose byrne is soooo good and this movie is sooo stressful. INCREDIBLE sound design- the real standout here. ultimately i am not sure what i am meant to be left with after watching, and that would usually mean i’d benefit from a second viewing, but it would be more peaceful to play chicken with a circular saw. didn’t make me not want kids unfortunately. i’d just do other stuff. have a good support system, nice wife, etc. blessings upon your children but im different
Good movie! (i wanted to peel the skin off my face)
Rose Byrne shouldn’t even have to campaign to win the Oscar. Just mail it to her house now.
The real fucking deal. A relentless anxiety inducing nightmare that will largely go ignored by awards bodies. Welcome back Uncut Gems!
Rose Byrne gives easily the best lead actress performance of the year, Conan is weirdly so good at playing a humorless asshole. What the hell has Mary Bronstein been up to for 17 years since her last film, and can she please not take another 17 to make her next one?
I love this movie. I’ll probably never watch it again. It’s a harrowing, full-frontal assault on the senses.
[wrote a long-ass essay about If I Had Legs, One Battle After Another, and why so many of 2025's best & most relevant movies have been about the agony and ecstasy of having kids]
This is a great time to be a parent. Actually, please allow me to clarify that: This is a profoundly godawful fucking time to be a parent on almost every conceivable level (which might explain why fewer Americans than ever are choosing to have children), but — if you put aside the looming danger of authoritarianism, the prohibitive cost of childcare, the rising tides of ecological catastrophe, the brain-wormed fight to deprive people of miraculous vaccines, the national indifference towards mass shootings, the fact that our hyper-stratified…
Rocky ain’t no babysitter
What I imagine BetterHelp therapists are like
A film that leaves you very exhausted, but in the most intimate way, for it asks us to care so deeply for her that we begin to inhabit her fatigue. The daughter’s face remains unseen, an intentional absence that redirects our attention entirely to the mother’s experience, her anxiety, her vigilance, her silent labor. The exhaustion it produces is not just physical, it's also the weight of loving too intensely, of carrying a world that never stops to demand. Motherhood is shown here in its full intensity, very harrowing, raw, and unbearably human. The weight of responsibility, of judgment, of the unspoken blame, presses constantly upon her shoulders. Mothers are the closest thing we have to superheroes. This is, in every sense, a superhero film.
