I love this movie. I’ll probably never watch it again. It’s a harrowing, full-frontal assault on the senses.
Robert DanielsDec 17, 2025What if you had a 2 hour nightmare where you were a mother and your kid was sick and you knew why but you couldn’t fix it and everyone is blaming you and you blame yourself and there’s a hole in the ceiling and everyone is acting really weird and not helping you and nothing…

eraserhead but for chicks
Clay Werner lovedIf I Had Legs I'd Kick You8.8 - 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…
zxki likedIf I Had Legs I'd Kick YouHoles, holes, and more holes. I can't recall the last time a film made me purposefully feel so much nauseating frustration. The camera work, sound work, dialogue, and acting all intertwine so well in achieving exactly how motherhood can feel, and I feel most people, men specifically, will still…
- abbi lovedIf I Had Legs I'd Kick You
there 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…
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
Superbad likedIf I Had Legs I'd Kick YouJesus. Same feeling I got when I watched Beau is afraid, insanely chaotic and stressful From the very first frame to the very last frame just pure stress
- Jake likedIf I Had Legs I'd Kick You
Less 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…
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
BENNY is "meh" onIf I Had Legs I'd Kick You5/10 If I Had Legs I’d Kick You is a dark, awkward indie drama-comedy that leans hard into emotional chaos. Led by a raw, intense performance from Rose Byrne, it explores motherhood, anxiety, and burnout in a very uncomfortable but honest way.

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.
