In this episode of Do You See What I Mean, Mia and Joe take on two recent films about motherhood pushed to the breaking point: Lynne Ramsay’s Die My Love and Mary Bronstein’s If I Had Legs, I’d Kick You. Both films center mothers in crisis—but they provoke very different reactions. As the conversation unfolds, Mia and Joe find themselves sharply divided, interrogating not just the films themselves but the assumptions critics and audiences bring to stories about maternal suffering. Together, these films raise difficult questions: what happens when motherhood is moralized on screen? When does empathy curdle into indulgence? And do we allow women to be monstrous when they become mothers?
