Two Films Featuring Strong Female Leads
Julia Roberts and Rose Byrne deliver remarkable 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, as there are few substantial roles for women in movies nowadays, making these performances a cause for celebration.
- "After the Hunt" is an entertaining, star-studded provocation.
- "If I Had Legs I’d Kick You" is an indie psychodrama with audacious laughs.
Julia Roberts and Rose Byrne play flinty, difficult characters in their respective films, unconcerned with eliciting the audience's sympathies.
