The film opens with Linda’s daughter describing her mother’s struggles, rather than her own, telling a therapist, “Mommy is… stretchable.” This immediately reveals the emotional strain on Linda, as evidenced by the actress’s worried expression. Linda vehemently denies needing therapy, but her reactions show how quickly she’s falling apart. The movie powerfully depicts the constant, overwhelming stress of single-handedly raising a child with complex medical needs—her husband is mostly absent, appearing only briefly at the end. The question becomes: is Linda truly flexible, or is she stretched so thin that she’s on the verge of breaking? A closer look reveals the subtle signs of her struggle.
