If I Had Legs I'd Kick You

"An absolutely sensational Byrne (...) not everything here quite works as well as Byrne, but Bronstein clearly hasn’t made something to be liked, she’s made something to be experienced. I can’t say I’ll forget that experience easily. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Motherhood becomes a psychological battleground in writer-director Mary Bronstein’s gripping second feature" 

"An alternately exhilarating and maddening Safdie-like indie. (...) Delivering a feverish, raw-nerve performance sure to go down as one of the year’s greats" 

"Byrne’s high-wire act remains riveting (...) digging deep into the intense pressure and isolation that can sometimes accompany motherhood" 

"A Hilarious and Harrowingly Brilliant Portrait of a Mom in Crisis (...) one of the rawest and most honest movies ever made about contemporary motherhood" 

"The combination of Byrne's haunting, brilliant performance, and Mary Bronstein's unrelenting handling of tone here makes 'If I Had Legs, I'd Kick You' one of the first must-watch films of 2025 (...) Rating: 8 (out of 10)" 

"There are also directorial choices from the filmmaker that are borderline brilliant (...) Bornstein is also smart enough to give her audience a reprieve every once again from the seemingly impending doom"
