If I Had Legs I’d Kick You

With her life crashing down around her, Linda (Rose Byrne) attempts to navigate her child's mysterious illness, her absent husband (Christian Slater), a missing person, and an increasingly hostile relationship with her therapist (Conan O’Brien).

With the whiplash pace of a thriller, writer/director Mary Bronstein takes audiences into a breathtakingly inventive, unexpectedly funny, yet startlingly relatable fever dream of parental anxiety.

Rose Byrne gives a one-of-a-kind cinematic portrait of ultra-pressurised motherhood (for which she received an Oscar® nomination) as Linda, an overwhelmed therapist who finds herself in a state of frenzy and obsessive dread as she grapples with a mounting series of head-spinning crises. The result is a gripping tale of personal horror and a moving illumination of that moment in life when it all becomes too much.
