A therapist whose life has become one crisis after another, Linda (Byrne) and her young daughter (who requires a feeding tube due to a mysterious illness) have had to relocate to a motel following a cataclysmic ceiling leak in their house. Meanwhile, her own therapist and colleague (Conan O\u2019Brien, unlike you\u2019ve ever seen him) has reached his own boiling point, her toughest patient (Danielle Macdonald) is a needy bundle of nerves that\u2019s spilling over into Linda\u2019s personal life, and her belligerent husband (Christian Slater) is unhelpfully away on a business trip. Bronstein\u2019s breathless, pressure-cooker visual approach and Byrne\u2019s fearlessly committed performance (which earned her the Silver Bear at this year\u2019s Berlinale) contribute to a full-throttle film that depicts life as a series of never-ending fires\u2014without losing its sense of fanciful humor.
