Ivy Wolk's Characters, Like in 'If I Had Legs I'd Kick You,' Are 'Always in the Service of Pissing People Off'

"Director Mary Bronstein's latest follows Rose Byrne as a mother spinning out of control as she balances her world crumbling around her, work as a psychotherapist, and a daughter hooked up to a feeding tube. Byrne's character, Linda, is forced into a motel in Montauk, where she meets Wolk's character, the sassy concierge of the front desk. The actor has less than 10 minutes of total screen time, but she holds her own opposite Byrne and A$AP Rocky."

"If the name Ivy Wolk doesn't ring a bell, seeing her face will. The indie darling, partly known for the provocations she's attracted on social media, has found her way into some of the last couple of years' buzziest projects: "Anora," "Friendship," and now the Sundance hit "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You," releasing on October 10. With "Anora," Wolk attended her first Cannes Film Festival, going viral for fighting, on camera, to get into the actual premiere for Neon's eventual Oscar winner."
