From the very opening of the film, Lindas life is an exhausting stream of problems.
It never ends, and both Byrne and Bronstein’s camera allows us to feel that weight.
Byrne is superb as Linda, as we watch her slowly descend into frustration and exhaustion.

Hopefully, this will lead to more roles for O’Brien.
Also delightfully exasperating is Macdonald as Caroline, a mother who’s worried about her relationship with her newborn.
