After they say motherhood is a thankless job, there in all probability isn’t an instance that appears as intense because the upcoming movie, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You. A24 releases the brand new trailer for the movie, which stars Rose Byrne in what’s being referred to as “a tour de force” efficiency. The darkish and heavy movie additionally surprisingly co-stars Conan O’Brien, who could be very hardly ever seen in a straight-up appearing function and, even rarer, taking part in a critical character. He would just lately be seen in a uncommon film look in Please Don’t Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain. Nevertheless, right here he’s appearing in a comparatively dramatic half.
If I Had Legs I’d Kick You stars Rose Byrne, Conan O’Brien, Danielle Macdonald, Lark White, Ivy Wolk, Daniel Zolghadri, Delaney Quinn and A$AP Rocky. The movie is written and directed by Mary Bronstein. The official synopsis reads, “With her life crashing down around her, Linda (Rose Byrne) attempts to navigate her child’s mysterious illness, her absent husband, a missing person, and an increasingly hostile relationship with her therapist.”
Our Chris Bumbray acquired to see the film at Sundance and mentioned, “While it’s not a horror movie, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You is the scariest movie playing at Sundance this year. A depiction of how motherhood can occasionally seem oppressive, this is the pitch-black nightmare version of the ultimately reassuring Nightbitch. Written and directed by Mary Bronstein, this intense, grim, but also darkly humorous film will likely be a controversial release for A24, with it playing out like a descent into madness that offers no reassuring moments of catharsis.”
His overview was a glowing one and he mentions, “Produced by Josh Safdie, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You has the same kind of stressful, nightmarish energy evident in Uncut Gems and Good Time. Linda’s descent is extreme and never lets up. Parents might find themselves cringing throughout, while folks thinking of starting a family might want to avoid this one, as it’s not the most glowing endorsement for parenthood I’ve ever seen. The movie makes it seem like a nightmare, but I’m sure it can sometimes feel that way for some people, leaving this as a movie that should strike a chord for many. It’s not a film I’d call enjoyable, as it’s a harrowing journey to go along on, but it’s challenging, immersive, and well worth checking out.”
