“I’ll be better. I promise.”
Life is crashing down for Linda (Rose Byrne). Her husband is in the military, leaving her alone with her sick young daughter and a run down apartment that has a hole in its roof and floor. She struggles so much mentally, that as a therapist herself, she needs her own therapist. If I Had Legs I’d Kick You is an anxiety inducing film as we watch Linda try to fix all that’s going wrong in her life.
A lot like the Safdie’s Uncut Gems, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You is pure stress and anxiety. Rose Byrne gives a career performance, it’s honestly a shame that Jessie Buckley gives one of the greatest performances of the century in Hamnet. Because Rose Byrne’s performance is Oscar worthy, and is the reason why this film is as great as it is.
This is such a well crafted film was incredible sound design, and like I already said, an incredible performance from Rose Byrne. If you like the anxiety inducing drama/thrillers of Uncut Gems and Marty Supreme, you’re bound to love If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.
