Rose Byrne has been nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for her harrowing performance as a mother faced with escalating anxieties and pressures looking after a sick daughter while dealing with a home that’s literally caving in, in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.Synopsis:
For Linda (Rose Byrne), being a working wife and mother in Montauk is not a life of serenity and joy but stress and anxiety. Her daughter is suffering from an unknown disease and is hooked up to a constantly beeping medical device. Her husband is away at sea working and unable to alleviate the crippling pressure weighing on her every minute. Tensions escalate when a hole in the ceiling bursts, a problematic event that metaphorically sums up the immense strain she’s under.
Then there are the patients where she works as a counsellor at the Center for Psychological Arts and Mom Talk, and an aloof contractor not providing much help at the house. The repairs send Linda and her daughter to a motel where a calm, supportive superintendent (A$AP Rocky, very good) offers space to breathe. But Linda’s mental health continues to spiral, the stresses of her life accumulating.
If I Had Legs I’d Kick You premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, with Byrne’s performance receiving universal acclaim, with numerous film festival awards and a Golden Globe Award, alongside a nomination for a Critics’ Choice Award for Best Actress. The film is rated 91% fresh on rottentomatoes.com, with critics saying:
“Bronstein puts you on an unnerving and slightly mystifying rollercoaster ride which has you gasping for air, but she has certainly served Byrne well. It’s the role of a lifetime and Byrne embraces it with everything she’s got.” – Sandra Hall, The Sydney Morning Herald
Don’t miss a breathtaking performance that is the talk of awards season with If I Had Legs I’d Kick You!
