This week on End Credits, we’re feeling the chill. But if the weather outside is cold, wait until you take another wild ride through the high drama of being a modern mom in the new movie If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, which you can now rent on video-on-demand. Speaking of the cold, we will salute the movies made by the coldest film festival (weather-wise) on the calendar!
This Wednesday, January 28, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss:
One Last Ride… In Park City. Currently underway is the Sundance Film Festival, but this year it’s different because this is the last year the festival is taking place in Park City, Utah and it’s the first year without prominent co-founder Robert Redford. We will do our part to mark Sundance’s impact on the culture by talking about some of their biggest success stories from genre fare, to blockbusters, Oscar winners and the first timers that went on to massive success!
REVIEW: If I Had Legs I’d Kick You (2025). Coming out of last year’s Sundance is the entry in the “motherhood is hell” subgenre, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You. The film from Mary Bronstein tells the story of a woman besieged by sick child, a hole in her ceiling, a dispassionate therapist, and too many clients as dysfunctional as she is, in what may be a career best (and Oscar nominated) performance by Rose Byrne. As Oscar season begins, we will catch up with one of the race’s sleeper successes because motherhood may be hell, but does it make for great cinema?
End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
