It’s no easy job being a mom, and that appears to be especially true for Rose Byrne’s character in the 2025 new movie If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.
A 2025 Sundance Film Festival selection and hailing from A24, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You has a lot of things going for it to be a buzzy indie movie this year; of course, it will have competition from other A24 titles like Opus, Death of a Unicorn, Warfare and others. But with early buzz and a few intriguing cast members starring alongside Byrne, there should be plenty to interest audiences.
