If I Had Legs I'd Kick You is a 2025 American comedy-drama-thriller directed by Mary Bronstein, starring Rose Byrne as Linda — a woman holding herself together by the thinnest of threads as her domestic world silently fractures around her.
What is If I Had Legs I'd Kick You about?
Linda's days are a cascade of emergencies she can barely keep straight. Her young child is sick in ways the doctors cannot explain, her husband is nowhere to be found, and somewhere in the background a person has gone missing whose absence nobody seems to treat seriously. The one place Linda expected relief — her therapist's office — has instead become a battleground. Each session grows sharper and more combative, mirroring the hostility she feels spilling into every other corner of her life. The film holds tightly to Linda's point of view, keeping the audience inside her mounting sense of helplessness and controlled rage as the structures that were supposed to support her refuse, one by one, to hold.
Cast & crew
Rose Byrne carries the film with disciplined restraint, playing Linda's barely-suppressed fury with physical precision. Conan O'Brien and A$AP Rocky appear in supporting roles that lean into the film's off-kilter tonal register. Director Mary Bronstein also takes a supporting role, and Danielle Macdonald rounds out the cast in a key part opposite Byrne.
Context & significance
Persian-speaking diaspora viewers — particularly those who have navigated healthcare systems, language barriers, and the particular isolation of being far from family — will find Linda's predicament uncomfortably recognizable. The film belongs to a strand of contemporary American indie cinema that examines the emotional labour placed almost exclusively on women, rendered in a register that sits between dark comedy and quiet dread. It is available on K-Time with Persian dubbing, so you can follow every layer of the dialogue without missing the film's acidic wit.
