Critic Quotes:

"It’s an intense ride that won’t be easily shaken. A large portion of that is due to Byrne’s tour-de-force performance, but also credit Bronstein’s aesthetic decision to never show Quinn’s face."

"Powered by a career-best performance from Rose Byrne, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You is a raw, unrelenting portrait of maternal collapse—messy, anxious, and brutally human. Bronstein crafts a fiercely intimate drama that lingers long after it ends."

"This is what all cinema should aspire to be. This is what film can be when made by a real master filmmaker who only gets better as he keeps making more.."

"Delivering a feverish, raw-nerve performance sure to go down as one of the year’s greats, Byrne has never had a role even remotely this intense to prepare us for the kind of emotional acrobatics her writer-director has in store."
