rose byrne is soooo good and this movie is sooo stressful. INCREDIBLE sound design- the real standout here. ultimately i am not sure what i am meant to be left with after watching, and that would usually mean i’d benefit from a second viewing, but it would be more peaceful…
demi adejuyigbeJan 28, 2025I love this movie. I’ll probably never watch it again. It’s a harrowing, full-frontal assault on the senses.
Robert DanielsOct 14, 2025Rose Byrne shouldn’t even have to campaign to win the Oscar. Just mail it to her house now.

eraserhead but for chicks
jam jammy jambam is "meh" onIf I Had Legs I'd Kick YouConceptually, this movie is fantastic. Byrne is absolutely phenomenal. However, I found the cinematography to be abhorrent. Did not like some of the technical decisions made throughout this movie. I completely understand the intent behind them, they just did not work for me
Jake likedIf I Had Legs I'd Kick YouLess of a plot and more just “what if overwhelming regret and stress was so loud I couldn’t function.” I thought it was really well executed. Byrne is obviously spectacular. Truly one of the greatest crossover actors from comedy to drama. She is so captivating in every scene. I really loved a…

8.8 - Another movie that has burrowed in my brain & won’t let go. I know these types of stories aren’t usually crowd pleasers but something about a moving & well written “we’re all just trying our best” story gets me. It’s not necessarily complex or particularly deep but I can’t quit thinking…
abbi lovedIf I Had Legs I'd Kick Youthere was a collective sigh in our tiny, mostly full theater after the final shot. followed by a gentle “jesus christ” from the guy above me. and that folks sums up what i’m able to process about this film experience at this time. rose byrne is phenomenal and there should be more discussion about…
Cami likedIf I Had Legs I'd Kick YouMe parece agotadora, logra completamente hacerte sentir lo que siente ella, yo solo quería q duerma y se espabile y encare es como una prisión, incómoda. La actuación de ella cumple 100% desespera y molesta. Siento que es bastante metafórica o simbólica x lo que tendría q leer

This was a wild watch - to see an overwhelmed woman go through a range of different emotions and stresses. So surreal, Rose Byrne portrayed this character so well.
anton chigurh dislikedIf I Had Legs I'd Kick YouI hated the way this made me feel. It’s not a BAD movie, but I did not enjoy this movie experience whatsoever. It’s overwhelming and emotionally draining.
Gosia is "meh" onIf I Had Legs I'd Kick YouIt’s a meh for me just because it gave me so much anxiety without a break or real resolution. Other than that, it’s a good movie with great acting

Some might qualify If I Had Legs I’d Kick You as a comedy, albeit one brimming with barely contained rage, while others might describe as a horror movie. Either way, it’s the kind of film that makes you want to call your own mother and apologize.

If I Had Legs I’d Kick You is hardly full-on punishment, and in places it’s bitterly funny. But in the end, it’s an enormous relief to walk away from Linda’s problems. Our own don’t seem so bad in comparison.

Mothers can’t leave, and when they do it’s considered to be the ultimate sin. Bronstein’s script is a brave, searing interrogation of the roles they’re forced to play in society and the massive weight of holding a life in one’s hands.
