| Showings |
With her life crashing down around her, Linda attempts to navigate her child’s mysterious illness, her absent husband, a missing person, and an increasingly hostile relationship with her therapist.
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.
★★★★★
The kind of film in which the things that should be scary are funny, and the things that should be funny are terrifying. The premise itself is every parent’s worst nightmare, but it’s shaped in a way that makes it feel like a cosmic joke.
★★★★★
Inventive, needling use of sound and the blurring of reality and fantasy take us under the skin of a woman at breaking point. It’s an impressive, immersive piece of film-making — and a profoundly uncomfortable watch.
