If I Had Legs I'd Kick You – Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art

Produced by A24 and featuring an Oscar-nominated and Golden Globe-winning performance by Rose Byrne, If I Could, I’d Kick You is an emotional rollercoaster about a woman locked in a daily battle with reality, a life falling apart, and the limits of her own endurance.

When her daughter is struck by a mysterious illness and her husband disappears into work, Linda’s world begins to collapse, turning her everyday existence into an obstacle course with no finish line in sight.

Shot in intimate close-ups of striking visual intensity, the film pulses with tension and raw emotion. Rose Byrne delivers an Oscar-worthy performance, executing a masterful slalom between rage, despair, determination, and madness. The result is a realistic, harrowing, and deeply unsettling portrait of a woman struggling to retain a shred of control in the face of chaos.

Director Mary Bronstein, drawing inspiration from her own story, and producer Josh Safdie (Uncut Gems, Marty Supreme) present a film that dismantles the myth of perfect motherhood and leaves audiences breathless. The outstanding supporting cast includes Conan O’Brien as a therapist and A$AP Rocky as a motel manager.
