Fantastic Fest 2025: IF I HAD LEGS I’D KICK YOU Features An Incredible Turn By Rose Byrne
Though not the typical Fantastic Fest movie, I was nevertheless thrilled that the programmers included this incredible film by writer/director Mary Bronstein. It is definitely not a very entertaining or amusing film (though it has its moments of fun and humor), but it is undoubtedly a phenomenal experience.

Regardless… Continue reading ROOFMAN Tells A Crazy True Story With Genuine Charm, Humor, and Romance
