  "textContent": "I think Mary Bronstein bet her husband that she could invert almost everything about _Uncut Gems_ and still make the audience feel the same way.\n\nWhere that movie follows the male main character as the driving force, careening through the world like a bull in a china shop, this one follows a woman as the world falls through the gaps in her grasp. But you feel exhilarating anguish - and humor in that anguish - all the same.\n\nThe visual (non-visual?) choice of never showing the daughter - just hearing her voice off-screen - was ingenious and added subtle horror to every scene. Abstract, guilty weight instead of personhood that keeps you locked in to Linda's subjective experience.\n\nAs a new parent myself, I gripped my cushion out of recognition through the new-mom-and-baby scenes. And I still think the most terrifying part of her situation is in the first scene: your child is sick and you can't help.",
