'If I Had Legs I'd Kick You' is a psychological drama that immerses viewers in the anxieties of a mother, Linda, portrayed by Rose Byrne. The film captures her emotional breakdown as she juggles her demanding therapy job and the care of a daughter reliant on a feeding tube, amid mounting domestic chaos. Director Mary Bronstein masterfully transforms mundane moments into sources of horror, leading to a chilling experience that leaves audiences sweating in stress. The portrayal of a mother's struggles resonates deeply, showcasing Byrne's remarkable talent in a career-best role.
"Byrne, who audiences tend to associate with comedies such as 'Bridesmaids' and 'Neighbors,' gives a career-best performance as Linda, the fraying parent of a young daughter who eats via feeding tube because of a disorder."
"Every step and breath, casual or frantic, is laced with dread. Usually you shield your eyes when the serial killer's broken into the house. Here, I was terrified when Linda took a walk around the block."
