If I Had Legs I'd Kick You

Gripping drama that earned Rose Byrne the Silver Bear for Best Leading Performance at the Berlin International Film Festival.

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 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.
