The new film "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You" brings a comedic nightmare to the big screen, directed by Mary Bronstein and starring Rose Byrne.
Before the film screened at the Toronto International Film Festival, Rose Byrne addressed the audience, explaining that to get in the proper mindset for the film, one must imagine the worst day of their life.
Hold that feeling, she said, and let it carry through the acerbic, tense and hilarious experience that will follow.
The film stars Rose Byrne as Linda, a mental health counsellor whose life is falling apart. The story begins with an uncomfortable close-up of her face as a doctor chides her for not doing enough to help her daughter heal from a mystery illness.
From there, the film presents a series of obstacles for Linda to deal with, each turn or scene bringing a new challenge.
