If I Had Legs I’d Kick You

Rose Byrne Stars in the Surreal, Darkly Funny Motherhood Odyssey If I Had Legs I’d Kick You

If I Had Legs I’d Kick You is an unflinching, fever‑dream portrait of a woman pushed to her emotional limits. Linda’s life is collapsing around her: her husband is away, her child is suffering from a mysterious illness, and she is left to shoulder the weight of it all while juggling work and a weary, long‑suffering colleague.

When a sudden flood destroys their home, Linda and her daughter are forced into a rundown motel staffed by surly clerks but inhabited by a neighbour all too willing to help her procure wine—and other substances—to survive the chaos. What follows is a surreal, white‑knuckle descent into the psychological battleground of modern motherhood, where desperation, humour, and hallucination collide.

Anchored by a thrilling, raw performance from Rose Byrne, the film captures the disorienting blend of love, fear, exhaustion, and absurdity that defines a parent on the brink. If I Had Legs I’d Kick You is a bold, unsettling, and darkly comic exploration of a woman fighting to stay afloat as the world closes in.
