IF I HAD LEGS I'D KICK YOU
Director: Mary Bronstein
Rose Byrne dominates in Mary Bronstein’s psychologically oppressive and compulsively dark story of a mother firmly on the edge. Both the actress and director take no prisoners as Linda (Byrne) appears in a cacophony of demands on her time as a wife, mother and (a barely functioning) therapist. Her sickly daughter is never seen, only a barrage of requests are heard, compounded by the ceiling that has caved in on her apartment, forcing Linda to move to a motel as her long-distance husband occasionally dials in. And one of her patients has disappeared. While the stress ramps up on screen, there is a catharsis to it all. Watch out for a deft cameo from A$AP Rocky.
SINK
Director: Zain Duraie
Behind the facade of a perfect life, Nadia, a 40-year-old wife and mother of three, struggles with her marriage and a lost sense of self, leaving her emotionally detached. Her one true connection is with her eldest son, Basil, a brilliant but unsociable high school senior. When a violent outburst at school leads to his suspension, Nadia’s world crumbles. On the verge of burnout, she attempts to care for him, but as she battles her own crisis, she's pulled into his undiagnosed mental illness. As his condition spirals, Nadia's struggle to prove that her son is normal intensifies. The film is an intimate look into a powerful maternal bond and a portrait of unconditional love in the face of chaos.
THE FURIOUS
Director: Kenji Tanigaki
A martial arts epic from action choreographer-turned-director Tanigaki Kenji, The Furious unites a cast of pan-Asian stars — including Xie Miao (The New Legend Of Shaolin), Joe Taslim (The Raid: Redemption), Jeeja Yanin and Yayan Ruhian — in a brutal yet emotional fight for justice. Set in an unnamed Southeast Asian country, it follows a father and a journalist as they take on a human trafficking syndicate in search of their missing loved ones. Produced by Bill Kong (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), with fight sequences choreographed for raw authenticity, the film pays homage to the golden age of Asian action cinema while pushing the genre forward. Gritty and powerful, The Furious is a masterpiece in its genre and a must-watch for martial arts fans.
