If I Had Legs I'd Kick You is a 2025 American psychological dark comedy‑drama written and directed by Mary Bronstein, centering on Linda (played by Rose Byrne), a therapist and overwhelmed mother whose life spirals out of control as she navigates her daughter's chronic illness, a fracturing home situation, and the emotional toll of caregiving.
The film is portrayed with a raw blend of anxiety, bleak humor, and emotional intensity. The ensemble cast features Conan O'Brien in a rare dramatic turn as Linda's therapist, Danielle Macdonald, Christian Slater as her absent husband, A$AP Rocky as a motel neighbor, and Delaney Quinn as her daughter. Their interactions heighten both the surreal and grounded qualities of this exploration of modern motherhood and systemic pressures.
Premiering at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival and later screening at the Berlin International Film Festival, where Rose Byrne won the Silver Bear for Best Leading Performance, the film was released by A24 to critical acclaim for Byrne's performance and its uncompromising honesty.
