What’s The Deal With Those Creepy Creaking Noises In If I Had Legs I’d Kick You? The Director Told Us Why She Added Them

Linda (Rose Byrne) look at the damage in her apartment with James (ASAP Rocky) in If I Had Legs I'd Kick You.

If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, one of the latest feature films from A24, offers a brutally raw look at parenthood from the perspective of a struggling mother. With this 2025 movie schedule entry, writer/director Mary Bronstein not only ups the feeling of uneasiness by employing many close-up shots but also utilizes audio-based techniques. Chief among those is a creaking noise that comes into play at certain points of the film. Bronstein has since spoken to CinemaBlend about her rationale for those effects.
