Really enjoyed this! & the google definition of urchin because as a British person I have never heard it described like that and it made me laugh. In much more concise terms it means you look a scruffy mess - my mum uses it all the time.

Martha!!! Thank you for reading :) haha I had no idea that’s what urchin meant. I truly was watching the film confused why there wasn’t anymore sea life imagery and had to look it up weeks later lol

The AMC app lists IF I HAD LEGS I’D KICK YOU as a comedy when I bought my ticket… so despite being bamboozled, it was interesting and engaging watch.

Linda’s an interesting character though I didn’t understand about half the things she did. Things like being inappropriate with her colleague/ therapist seemed more like radical lack of self-awareness rather than a reaction to her circumstances.

Thanks for reading! I agree that her behaviour started in a wild place but most of the characters did. I interpreted that this was more of a symptom than this being part comedy than anything else.

Great article! I love love loved If I Had Legs I’d Kick You. Watched it with my mom a few days ago because I thought she’d find it relatable but I didn’t know exactly how much until we talked after the film. Should totally go watch Urchin based on your description of it.

Thanks for reading! I should tell my mom to watch it, too! I highly recommend Urchin. Let me know what you think about it once you go see it :)
