If I Had Legs I’d Kick You is another movie where it’s best to go into it as blind as possible. Buy the ticket. Take the journey. That’s exactly what I did when I saw the film at a press screening during the 61st Chicago International Film Festival. Based on the title, I knew it would be a unique movie, but I didn't know much else.
Surprisingly, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You wasn’t as strange as expected. It’s hilarious at times, endearing in other moments, heartbreaking, even a little scary, but overall, it’s a brutal look at the perils of motherhood. It’s its take on that subject that I want to discuss.
