\n\tA24 has released the trailer for its Sundance Film Festival darling \u201cIf I Had Legs I\u2019d Kick You.\u201d The Rose Byrne<\/a>-led dramedy from writer-director Mary Bronstein is set to hit theaters Oct. 10. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe film\u2019s official logline reads, \u201cWith her life literally crashing down around her, Linda attempts to navigate her child\u2019s mysterious illness, her absent husband, a missing person and an increasingly hostile relationship with her therapist.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tStarring alongside Byrne are Conan O\u2019Brien, Danielle Macdonald, Delaney Quinn, Mary Bronstein, Christian Slater and A$AP Rocky. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn the trailer, we see a frantic Byrne arguing with her therapist, played by O\u2019Brien. \u201cI\u2019m asking you what I\u2019m supposed to do! Can you hear me?\u201d Byrne screams. O\u2019Brien responds in a patronizing tone, \u201cI would like you to get a good night\u2019s sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tVariety film critic Peter Debruge praised \u201cIf I Had Legs I\u2019d Kick You\u201d following its world premiere at Sundance. In his review<\/a>, he described the film as \u201ca virtuosic portrait of mental unraveling that uses every tool in the director\u2019s arsenal to re-create an end-of-the-world feeling on the most intimate scale. Delivering a feverish, raw-nerve performance sure to go down as one of the year\u2019s greats, Byrne has never had a role even remotely this intense to prepare us for the emotional acrobatics her writer-director has in store.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter its Sundance run, the film went to the Berlin Film Festival, where Byrne won the Silver Bear for best lead performance.<\/p>\n

\n\tSara Murphy, Ryan Zacarias, Ronald Bronstein, Josh Safdie, Eli Bush, Conor Hannon and Richie Doyle serve as producers. Executive producers include Byrne and Mary Bronstein. <\/p>\n
