Our 6 favorite films at this year’s Sundance

LA Times  

Rose Byrne in the movie “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.” Already, Linda is having an awful day. The lamentations of her preteen daughter, suffering from some wasting disease, bombard her from the backseat of her car, while her useless husband — another faceless voice on a cellphone — insists that she handle everything. But it’s when the ceiling of her bedroom caves in, with a watery, violent crunch that’s more frightening than any sound in a comedy should be, that you realize this movie is going to an extremely dark place. Call it “Uncut Gems”-adjacent, but writer-director Mary Bronstein arrives in a major way at her own brand of sweaty personal catastrophe, unambiguously on the side of the doomed.
