Oscar nominated. Sharply funny and deeply resonant, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You is an electrifying drama about juggling Motherhood and retaining your own identity amid the chaos, anchored by a brilliant performance from Rose Byrne.
With her life crashing down around her, Linda (Rose Byrne – Platonic, Bridesmaids and of course, Broadstairs-set Juliet, Naked) attempts to navigate her child’s mysterious illness, her absent husband, a missing person, an increasingly hostile relationship with her therapist (Conan O’Brien) and her job.
It’s a darkly funny, harrowing whirlwind of an experience from powerhouse studio A24 with Byrne’s sensational performance as the exhausted Linda keeping you rooting for her throughout. Terrifically entertaining!
