Brianna Zigler AV Club The concept of giving up is Linda’s only lifeline, and If I Had Legs I’d Kick You is a stunning, brutal manifestation of these ugly instincts—instincts as natural as the impulse to bear children. Rated: A- Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Radheyan Simonpillai CBC Radio Emotionally unrelenting and distressing (could have easily slipped into misery porn if in the hands of someone like Darren Aronofsky) but Mary Bronstein makes room for humour, warmth and humanity, all of which is found in Byrne's incredible performance. Sep 13, 2025 Full Review Cortlyn Kelly RogerEbert.com It may not be something I revisit, that does not detract from its excellent, exhausting execution. Rated: 3.5/4 Sep 2, 2025 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix If I Had Legs I'd Kick You delves deep into the unraveling psyche of a sick child's caregiver mother, who cracks under the pressure of feeling overwhelmed and underappreciated. Rose Byrne's performance is a master class in anxious empathy and tragicomedy. Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Sean Chandler Sean Chandler Talks About I stressful, entertaining, and insightful look at modern day motherhood with a inventive perspective. Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Molly Henery The Blogging Banshee If I Had Legs I'd Kick You is a panic attack in film form, adding dark humor to a truly stressful cinematic experience. Rated: 8/10 Oct 2, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
