If I Had Legs I'd Kick You Changed My Mind About About A Classic Book I Read Way Back In High School

Rose Byrne in close up, looking to her right with her head on a pillow. .

If you had told me when I sat down to watch If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, which is now available with an HBO Max subscription, that by the end I would be thinking about Kate Chopin’s The Awakening at the end, I wouldn’t have believed you. I haven’t thought about that book since 10th grade, way back in the 20th century, and I certainly wasn’t expecting to think of it now, because of the movie where Rose Byrne has rightly been nominated for an Oscar (and already has won a Golden Globe for). But, here we are.

And be warned, there are SPOILERS AHEAD, especially of the endings of If I Had Legs I'd Kick You and The Awakening.
