If I Had Legs I'd Kick You

Middle-aged Linda is not in a good place. She has lost her way. With her husband always away on business and a daughter ill since she was born, Linda finds no solace in her work and gets no support from her therapist. Damage to her home forces her to move into a motel with her daughter on short notice, and there she risks losing touch with reality for good.

COMMENTARY
Set in stylish Montauk today and based partly on the personal experiences of the director, Mary Bronstein, this bold, unfiltered tragicomedy is a clear-eyed analysis of the suffocating burden of solo parenting. Fast-paced and supported by a script that artfully juggles bleak farce and surreal desperation, the movie is a relentless journey into a woman’s emotional breakdown.

DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
My aim was to capture the visceral feeling you have when you fear everything is not only falling apart, but that the falling apart is all your fault: that time in life when you feel like one more thing will push you over the edge; and when you're so deeply stressed and out of your mind that all problems become equal.
