If I Had Legs I’d Kick You (2025): A Raw, Uncomfortable Portrait of Motherhood and Control
If I Had Legs I’d Kick You is one of the most daring films of 2025 — a dark comedy, psychological drama, and slow-burn thriller wrapped into one haunting story about motherhood, identity, and emotional survival. Written and directed by Mary Bronstein and released by A24, the film stars Rose Byrne in what may be the boldest performance of her career. Beneath its absurd title lies a painfully realistic portrait of a woman whose world is falling apart, one therapy session at a time.
