Rose Byrne is taking the awards season by storm with her latest role. On October 10, 2025, the psychological drama If I Had Legs I'd Kick You officially arrived in theaters across the United States. Directed by Mary Bronstein and distributed by A24, the film stars Byrne as a mother navigating a series of intense psychotic episodes.

The theatrical release follows a wave of critical acclaim for Byrne’s performance. She has already secured a Best Actress nomination for the 98th Academy Awards, following her historic win for Best Leading Performance at the 2025 Berlin Film Festival. Bronstein’s direction creates a portrait of motherhood and mental health that has captivated festival audiences for over a year.

Originally promoted as If Only I Could I’d Kick You in select international markets, the film’s domestic launch is timed to capitalize on peak Oscar momentum. Screener Passport reports that Byrne is currently a frontrunner in a competitive field. The production also features Central Pictures, the banner founded by Josh Safdie, adding significant prestige to the project's awards pedigree.
