Emotional and humorous, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You pulls out all the stops with its powerful storytelling about a mother struggling with life’s relentless hurdles. The psychological comedy-drama, anchored by Rose Byrne's brilliant performance as Linda, has earned much praise. After premiering in February 2025 at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival, the movie went on to make rounds at several other major festivals, including the 2025 New York Film Festival. 

Following its theatrical release on October 10, 2025, the movie is now available to stream online. But has Netflix added this deeply moving gem to its streaming library?

Unfortunately, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You is not on Netflix. However, the film is currently streaming on HBO Max, as announced by Warner Bros. Discovery. For those who do not have access to the platform, the movie is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, or Fandango at Home.

The film is especially worth seeking out for Rose Byrne's performance as Linda, which has already earned major recognition, including a Golden Globe, the Silver Bear for Best Leading Performance, and an Academy Award nomination. Written and directed by Mary Bronstein, the movie is a must-watch regardless of whether Byrne wins any awards. 

As for the heart of the movie, it lies in Byrne'scharacter, Linda, who is a psychotherapist and mother struggling to stay afloat while dealing with her daughter’s mysterious illness, an absent husband, demanding clients, and an unhelpful therapist. As pressures continue to mount, the emotional weight of her situation becomes impossible to ignore. This movie is an emotional ride for both its characters and the viewers.

Weaved out of the same thread as If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, there is another highly rated movie starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson. 

Die My Love also focuses on the life of a new mother struggling to adjust to a drastically changed life. In this psychological drama, Jennifer Lawrence plays Grace, a woman battling postpartum depression and isolation after moving with her husband to a home in rural Montana. Although Lawrence did not receive an Oscar nomination this year, her performance has been praised for its intensity and depth.

And she was joined by Robert Pattinson, who played Grace’s husband. Directed by Lynne Ramsay, the film gives a raw and close look at mental health struggles as well as motherhood. After its release in 2025, the movie is available to stream online.

Dark and powerful, both movies are unique with their own distinct characters and storytelling that cannot be missed.
