If I Had Legs I’d Kick You

Struggling with a child’s mysterious illness, an absentee husband, and a collapsed ceiling in their apartment, a woman spirals into crisis in this dark comedy-horror mashup. Writer-director Mary Bronstein brings a perfectly calibrated touch of humor to her manic situations, serving both as stress relief and a sharp lens on her character’s absurd, surreal desperation. Rose Byrne’s bravura performance as a woman in full-throttle descent earned her the Berlin Film Festival’s Silver Bear for Best Leading Performance, and she is ably supported by a stellar ensemble including Conan O’Brien, Delaney Quinn, A$AP Rocky, and Christian Slater.

2025. USA. Written and directed by Mary Bronstein. With Rose Byrne, Delanet Quinn, A$AP Rocky. DCP courtesy A24. 113 min.
