A Woman's Dark Journey Powered by Byrne's Dynamic Turn

Rose Byrne proves how resourceful an actor she can be when given the rare opportunity to shine on her own, and director/screenwriter Mary Bronstein provides her a high-wire act that teeters unpredictably between dark comedy and horror. This 2025 character study can be an exasperating, thoroughly dispiriting watch, but Byrne does consistently brave work as Linda, a stressed-out psychotherapist dealing with a needy daughter struggling with a food-related illness. In the midst of a long-gestating nervous breakdown, Linda faces several escalating challenges - a collapsed ceiling, a long-distance unsympathetic husband, her daughter's manipulative doctor (played by Bronstein herself), a mentally unstable patient dealing with new motherhood (an excellent Danielle Macdonald), a nasty hamster, and Linda's own judgmental therapist. In this latter role, Bronstein cast Conan O'Brien who delivers an unironic, strait-jacketed performance. The plot follows Linda in a familiar rut where she can't do anything right, only getting worse in making her desperate choices. The motel superintendent (solid work from ASAP Rocky) is the only character close to sympathetic in Linda's orbit, but he also suffers from her persistent self-loathing. Through it all and often in intense close-ups, Byrne is unafraid to show Linda's utter selfishness but in a manner that's more compelling than repellent. It's truly stellar work in a film almost too relentless in spotlighting her character's dark journey.

Rose Byrne's performance delivers a punch to the gut. [+73%]

Reviewed by constheo 8 / 10

An outstanding film-in fact, the best I saw at this year's Berlinale. Watching it, I couldn't help but feel echoes of The Substance (2024), as it masterfully balances fantasy, horror, and an almost suffocating intensity centred around the theme of motherhood.*** Rose Byrne delivers a phenomenal performance, one that earned her a well-deserved award in Berlin. The film leans heavily on her presence, and rightly so-her portrayal is what makes the experience so gripping. We see, hear, and feel everything from her perspective, yet that very subjectivity leaves room for doubt. Are we witnessing reality or a distorted, anxiety-fuelled version of it?*** The cinematography amplifies this tension brilliantly. The use of tight close-ups throughout most of the film creates an unsettling sense of imprisonment, mirroring the protagonist's internal struggle. It's only in some moments of relief that the camera pulls back, giving us fleeting glimpses of the world beyond her immediate perception. This directorial choice not only strengthens the script but also deepens the film's psychological impact.*** If I Had Legs, I Would Kick You is an immersive, nerve-wracking experience-a must-see that will undoubtedly find its place on many cinephiles lists for the 2025 best movies.
