    If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) is a brilliant psychological #drama that dives headlong into a mental breakdown. It's fever dream stuff, with an outstanding performance from Rose Byrne who is (suffocatingly) in shot almost the entire time. Probably needs a second viewing. (🐹) #Filmsky #Moviesky 📽️

    I saw If I Had Legs I'd Kick You at the NYFF and it's...a horror movie with laughs? The scariest comedy ever? A sweet and gentle gift to those of us who decided not have kids? A completely harrowing experience? A perfect vehicle for the phenomenal Rose Byrne? Possibly all of the above.

    Mary Bronstein's surreal, hilarious & super harrowing "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You" is easily the best movie i've seen at Sundance so far. come for a career-best Rose Byrne as an unraveling mom, stay for Conan O'Brien as her miserable therapist. my review: www.indiewire.com/criticism/mo...

    I'm aware of "Anora" and "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You" but let's be real: the former was the 75th highest grossing film worldwide in 2024 and the latter did not break the top 200 in 2025. This isn't to say they're bad/good, just that they're not cultural touchstones most people know, they're niche.

    A24's ‘If I Had Legs I'd Kick You' is Sundance 2025's most-buzzed movie. > It’s looking like a pretty tame Sundance Film Festival in terms of buzzy titles this year. We’re currently on Day 4, and the consensus seems to be that Mary Bronstein’s “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You,” produced by A24, is the best buzzed title (81 on Metacritic). There’s still another day left for world premieres so, hopefully, they saved the best for last. > >‘If I Had Legs,’ which is also supposed to screen, in…
