Portable power banks are great for charging phones and tablets, but when you want to power a fridge, part of your home, or an RV, you'll want something a bit bigger. Anker's SOLIX line is a popular option, and the latest SOLIX C2000 Gen 2 is here to power everything.

Anker is all charged up. The brand makes some of the most user-friendly and affordable power stations, and as of Oct. 10, that lineup is expanding. The new Anker Solix C2000 Gen 2 joins the brand's portfolio of portable power stations designed for camping, and this model is especially appealing to those who head off on RV trips.

Packing in 2,048Wh of capacity with 4,000W peak output, the Solix C2000 Gen 2 is ready for powering up almost any appliance. Of course, it can recharge phones and laptops thanks to the USB-C ports that max out at 140W, but it's also powerful enough to keep the refrigerator cooling or keep the window AC going during the heat of summer. In total, the Solix C2000 Gen 2 packs in five standard AC ports, one TT-30, two 140W USB-C, one 15W USB-C, and one 12W USB-A.

The addition of the TT-30 port means the Solix C2000 Gen 2 is ideal for RV trips. Pair that with its durable build, and you're on your way to non-stop adventures. In real-life terms, Anker says the Solix C2000 Gen 2 can power a 190W refrigerator for up to 32 hours. Here are some highlight specs on the new power station:

Essential specs:

• Capacity: 2,048Wh

• Continuous output: 2,400W pure sine wave

• Peak power: 4,000W

• Weight: 41.7 pounds

• Dimensions: 18 in. L × 9.8 in. W × 10.1 in. H

• Power options: AC, USB-C (140W), USB-A, TT-30 port

• Recharging options: Grid, solar, alternator, generator, hybrid, car port

• Battery type: LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate)

• Life cycles: 80 percent capacity after 4,000 cycles

Recharging options aplenty

Impressive ports aside, when you need to recharge the Solix C2000 Gen 2, Anker gave us tons of options. Standard grid, solar panels, generators, or a car port can all get the station juiced up again. Plus, the Solix C2000 Gen 2 can handle hybrid recharging with AC and solar. Anker says it'll take just 58 minutes to go from zero to 100 with 2,600W AC and solar recharging. Max solar input tops out at a massive 800W. Recharging from standard grid power will take about 90 minutes to get back to 100 percent.

Snagging a portable power station that can handle expanding its power is a smart move. You never know when your power needs might increase and Anker made this model compatible with one expansion battery that doubles its capacity for a total of about 4,000Wh.

Batteries are heavy, and portable power stations that have over 2,000Wh of capacity can get seriously heavy and bulky. But it's not surprising to see that Anker has nailed both aspects. It's not the lightest portable power station, but it only weighs 41.7 pounds, which is pretty great for a 2,000Wh power station. By comparison, the Anker Solix F2000 (which has an identical 2,048Wh of capacity) clocks in at 67.2 pounds, and it comes with a telescoping handle and wheels so you can roll it around instead of lifting the chunk.

Not only is the weight impressive, but the overall dimensions of the Solix C2000 Gen 2 make it genuinely campground-worthy. The Solix C2000 comes with dimensions of 18 L × 9.8 W × 10.1 H inches. Compare this to the Mashable favorite Anker Solix C1000 (which has 1,056WHh) dimensions of 14.8 L × 8.1 W × 10.5 H inches, and we're shook. The C2000 Gen 2 is just a few inches longer and a hair wider than the C1000, but it packs in nearly twice as much power.

Affordable with a capital "A"

The Solix C2000 Gen 2 carries a list price of $1,499, which is pretty average for the industry. But preorders drop it to just $749, or a major 50% discount. For a 2,000Wh portable power station, a price of $750 is a heck of a deal. Considering we're coming into fall and winter storm season, this could be a great pre-holiday purchase. Snowbirds who pack up the van or RV for sunnier winter weather are also in line for an awesome upgrade thanks to Anker's addition of the Solix C2000 Gen 2.

Right from the start, A24's If I Had Legs I'd Kick You takes a big stylistic swing.

Directed by Mary Bronstein, the film centers on Linda (Rose Byrne), a woman who must juggle caring for her sick daughter (Delaney Quinn) and dealing with a collapsed ceiling in their apartment. Throughout it all, her husband, Charles (Christian Slater), is away on an extended work trip and heard only over the phone. Similarly, Linda and Charles' daughter spends most of her time out of frame in scenes with Linda, so audiences only know her voice, not her face.

In an interview with Mashable Entertainment Reporter Belen Edwards, Bronstein, Byrne, and Slater discussed the decision to visually isolate Linda from her family members and how it felt filming Linda's phone conversations with Charles.

"It was suitably frustrating and stressful," Byrne said. "This lends itself to what the scenes are."

"The voiceover scenes, I think they represent the distance in the marriage," added Slater, who recorded his scenes remotely, adding to the sense of Linda's isolation.

As for why audiences don't see Linda's child, Bronstein explained the reasons were twofold.

"One is conceptual, which is that we're in Linda's reality the whole time, and she cannot see her daughter as a little girl," Bronstein explained. "She can only see her as something that's being put upon her, that's that's victimizing her, that's a burden."

She continued: "Then, in a manipulative way, I also know that if you introduce the face of a child into these scenes where Linda is doing the kinds of things that she's doing, the sympathy is going to go to the child. And I wanted, in a very radical way, for the audience to stay with Linda."

If I Had Legs I'd Kick You is now in theaters.

Hinge, the dating app "designed to be deleted," has risen in popularity in recent years. Mashable recently reported that in the second quarter of 2025, revenue and paid users of the app had increased, while Tinder's declined. Both are owned by the conglomerate Match Group, but it seems that daters these days are leaning towards Hinge.

As such, they might have questions about how Hinge works. Mashable has the answers.

How many likes do you get on Hinge?

Free users are able to send seven likes a day, the app confirmed to Mashable. It's also free to send a comment to someone you're interested in while you're "liking," and seeing everyone who sends you a like (which most apps make you pay for). 

SEE ALSO: The best hookup apps, reviewed: I swiped until my thumb hurt

Free Hinge members can also set specific preferences, such as location, age range, distance, and religion.

Does Hinge have read receipts?

Some apps, like Instagram, have read receipts on private messages, meaning you will know when the person you're chatting with reads the message. You might be afraid of being left on read — or leaving someone else on read. 

But in Hinge's case, you don't have to worry. Hinge confirmed that the app doesn't have read receipts, so you can glance at your match's latest DM in peace, and message back when you're ready.

While daters on Hinge cannot send photos or videos directly to their matches, they can send voice notes.

What does a Hinge Boost do?

A Hinge Boost makes a user's profile more visible to potential matches for one hour, while a Superboost does so for 24 hours. 

"Think of it as a way to speed up the process; because while good things take time, sometimes a little extra visibility helps," Hinge's Help Center states.

The prices of Boost and Superboost are dynamic and depend on one's location and other factors. 

Other users won't know you Boosted yourself, and the app will notify you when the Boost period is over and will give you a summary of the impact. 

How do you change your gender on Hinge?

You can change both your gender and sexuality on Hinge. In the app, tap the Photo icon on the far right of the navigation bar. Tap the Pencil icon, scroll down and tap Gender.

You can choose Man, Woman, or Nonbinary, and within those options choose a gender identity — options include gender fluid, genderqueer, and intersex.

To change your sexuality on the app, tap the Pencil icon and scroll to Sexuality under Identity. Choose an option from the list.

You can choose whether you want your gender and/or sexuality displayed on your profile. (Check or uncheck "Visible on Profile.")

Who am I excluded from on Hinge?

When Hinge daters select "prefer not to say" for details like family plans, dating intentions, or drinking habits, they're excluded from being seen by people who've set dealbreakers around those compatibility factors, the app stated.

SAVE OVER $30: As of Oct. 10, the Lego Star Wars: The Mandalorian Grogu with Hover Pram set is on sale at Amazon for $69.98. This is 30%, or $30.01, off its list price of $99.99.

Prime Big Deal Days had some very exciting Lego deals, and even though the sale event is over now, we're still finding some worth checking out at Amazon. It's even better when we find a set that's dropped to a lower price than it was during the Prime Day sale, which is exactly the case with the Lego Star Wars: The Mandalorian Grogu with Hover Pram set right now.

For a limited time, the Lego Star Wars: The Mandalorian Grogu with Hover Pram set has dropped to $69.98, a 30% discount from its list price of $99.99. During October Prime Day, this set was on sale for $79.99, so you can save $10.01 more on it right now. Price tracker camelcamelcamel even says it's its best price yet, so there's no better time to grab it.

This adorable set looks like a wonderful little build for Star Wars fans, too. Recommended for those aged 10 and up, this set comes with 1,048 pieces that come together to create little Grogu and his hover pram. It also comes with an information plaque that you can set up next to it if you put it up on display, alongside a brick built Sorgan frog, a shifter knob, and a cookie for Grogu to hold. His head, ears, and arms are even posable, which is a fun touch.

Since it's currently marked as a limited-time deal, it may not stay at this price for long. Now's your chance to save on the Lego Star Wars: The Mandalorian Grogu with Hover Pram set at Amazon.

If you're looking for more Lego deals to shop right now, Target's Circle Week sale is still going strong with a few discounted sets available that you can stock up on before the next big sale event hits.

Unless you've been living under a warthog, Xbox players are going through it right now. Game Pass price hikes (But postponed for some?), rumored cancelled next gen hardware and all in all an uncertain future for the platform. The main issue here is players like me who have an Xbox library going back to the Xbox 360 days, we're all in and it would be nice to carry on that way without paying $360 a year for games we don't own.

Luckily, I've been doing some digging on current discount on physical Xbox Series X|S|One games. If you've had an Xbox Series X from before pricing shot up, you're in the perfect position to just cancel Game Pass and build up your physical backlog. Just looking at the top 10 discounted games below, this currently comes to $239.83 with at least 50% discount on these titles. If you're playing a game every month or two, the savings over Game Pass are real whilst saving nearly $100 by simply getting the games you want to play (We're looking at you, Ubisoft Classics).

Times are hard at the moment, so if you're parting with your hard earned dollars for new games, it's good to know you have that game for life. Whilst it's obvious that gaming is heading towards a digital future, that doesn't mean we have to jump on the band wagon when there's savings and physical perks to keep hold of. I've found around 50 deals on Xbox Series X|S|One, so there's bound to be something here for every kind of player. Let's get into it:

It’s easy to recommend Home Assistant to anyone who wants a powerful and versatile smart home, but in its default state, the platform operates wholly offline. For many, this is a feature since it means there’s no reliance on the cloud.

EcoFlow sells many portable power stations, but the Delta 3 Max Plus is one of the most versatile options. The 120V and 20A AC output support and rated capacity of 2048Wh makes it a great option for outdoors trips, home power outages, and everything in between. There are a few catches, though.

Prime Day sales are a great excuse to upgrade your tech and save some money in the process. Whether you need a new laptop, your TV is kaput, or a pair of new earbuds is the perfect treat, you'll find just about everything discounted. My tech of choice this year was the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K, and two days after Prime Day ended, it's still on sale.

As of Oct. 10, the Fire TV Stick 4K is on sale for $29.99, a $20 savings. This is slightly higher than its Prime Day low of $24.99, but only just.

So, why the Fire TV Stick? Well, the TV I've carted through the last 10 years of my life is still going strong, so I find no need to throw it out just yet. However, smart TVs were far less common back then, so to watch Netflix, Prime Video, or any streaming service, I had to hook up my laptop with various cables and control it from there. Not so easy. This is where the Fire TV Stick comes in.

It's incredibly easy to use, and the setup takes less than five minutes. Just take the Fire TV Stick and plug it into your TV's HDMI port. The device also comes with a wall plug to power it with electricity, and that's it, you're good to go. It also comes with a remote with Alexa functions, so you can use it just like a smart TV and ask it to search for your favorite movie, browse the web for a question, or even speak to other smart devices in your home.

As the name suggests, the 4K model of this device gives you better quality, ideal for 4K TVs. And, of course, you get access to the Amazon Fire operating system, which is another plus. All your apps are in one place, and you can pick up your favorite Prime shows right where you left off, straight from the home screen.

Happy Friday and welcome to your guide to Pips, the latest game in the New York Times catalogue.

Released in August 2025, the Pips puts a unique spin on dominoes, creating a fun single-player experience that could become your next daily gaming habit.

Currently, if you're stuck, the game only offers to reveal the entire puzzle, forcing you to move onto the next difficulty level and start over. However, we have you covered! Below are piecemeal answers that will serve as hints so that you can find your way through each difficulty level.

How to play Pips

If you've ever played dominoes, you'll have a passing familiarity for how Pips is played. As we've shared in our previous hints stories for Pips, the tiles, like dominoes, are placed vertically or horizontally and connect with each other. The main difference between a traditional game of dominoes and Pips is the color-coded conditions you have to address. The touching tiles don't necessarily have to match.

SEE ALSO: Wordle today: Answer, hints for October 10, 2025

The conditions you have to meet are specific to the color-coded spaces. For example, if it provides a single number, every side of a tile in that space must add up to the number provided. It is possible – and common – for only half a tile to be within a color-coded space.

Here are common examples you'll run into across the difficulty levels:

• Number: All the pips in this space must add up to the number.

• Equal: Every domino half in this space must be the same number of pips.

• Not Equal: Every domino half in this space must have a completely different number of pips.

• Less than: Every domino half in this space must add up to less than the number.

• Greater than: Every domino half in this space must add up to more than the number.

If an area does not have any color coding, it means there are no conditions on the portions of dominoes within those spaces.

Connections is the one of the most popular New York Times word games that's captured the public's attention. The game is all about finding the "common threads between words."

The NYT's latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications' Games section. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

Today's NYT Strands hints are great in autumn.

Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game, requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.

Originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly spread to become an international phenomenon, with thousands of people around the globe playing every day. Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once. 

Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.

Not the day you're after? Here's the solution to today's Wordle.

Walking my dog in Miami the other day, I spotted something both funny and unsettling: A robot cruising down the sidewalk delivering food — and it had my name on it. The sight immediately took me back to a few years ago when I was behind the wheel with my pup in the back seat, delivering meals as my side gig. 

At the time, I had just quit a toxic job with very little financial cushion and no clear next step. To say I was burned out was an understatement. My soul and my career needed a total reset. Thanks to the gig economy, I was able to make it work: Covering my basic living expenses, giving myself much-needed breathing room, and wearing out my then two-year-old dog. 

SEE ALSO: DoorDash unveils new delivery robots that yawn, wink, and travel 20 mph

That leap — leaving a job without another lined up — became a turning point. It taught me how critical it is to create sustainable, flexible options in your career, and it's one of the reasons I’m so passionate now about helping professionals build strategies that allow them to pivot with confidence. 

But what if I hadn't had that option to fall back on? That was the question that struck me when the delivery robot glided right on by. 

Gig work as a lifeline 

Think about this for a second: You, or someone you know, loses a job, can't make ends meet, or simply falls on hard financial times. Where can you turn for a bit of extra cash flow fast these days? Gig platforms like Uber, DoorDash, or Amazon delivery could be a great holdover, and you may not even need a license or car to make it happen. We're not talking about students or someone looking to fill some extra time signing up for this work. According to a study by MyPerfectResume, 71 percent of U.S. workers rely on secondary income sources. And per a recent report by Zety, 55 percent of workers rely on gig work for more than half their total earnings (Disclosure: I am a career expert for Zety). This proves that gig work isn't just a bridge or cushion for moments of transition, but a necessity when one paycheck isn't enough to live on. 

What happens when the bots take over? 

It isn't on the horizon anymore. We are seeing self-driving cars and sidewalk robots as a part of normal life, not The Jetsons. They’re being tested, deployed, and replacing labor that once relied on humans. If these jobs vanish, it’s not just side hustles we’re losing. We're talking about removing one of the few easy-to-get-into and easy-to-manage cash flow opportunities left. And we're doing it in a job market that's already brutal, where, according to a Zety report, laid-off workers routinely send out 50 or even 100 applications just to land something new. We’re not just talking about people like me, looking for a break while applying for new roles. Think about the single parents piecing together income, or the workers trying to stay afloat while their next job is still months away.

So far, the conversation around AI has focused on traditional 9-to-5 jobs and how white-collar professionals will adapt. Those concerns matter. But so do the questions at the street level. When AI takes over a delivery job, it's not just about how a robot navigates foot traffic. It's about someone's rent money, their grocery bill, their stopgap until the next job comes along. 

We need to broaden the conversation to include the impact on all of us and the safety nets that keep people afloat. And we need to have it now, before AI takes away the very work that once gave me the breathing room and lifeline I desperately needed.

This article reflects the opinion of the writer.

Astronomers say they've captured the clearest look yet of a star on the brink of supernova.

An international team used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to backtrack and find the original star that suffered a cataclysmic explosion on June 29. The discovery is an unprecedented accomplishment for the observatory.

Identifying the original star was harder to achieve than it sounds. Supernovas happen suddenly, and no one knows which star in the sky will explode next. Scientists must pore over older, pre-explosion photos of the same swath of space, hoping to spot the single bright point of light that has since vanished. Webb has only been operating for three years, so this is the first time one of its previous images has overlapped with the site of a new supernova. 

The result is a rare before-and-after look at a dying star. The supernova, called SN 2025pht, came from a red supergiant, one of the largest types of stars in the universe. It was roughly 40 million light-years away in the galaxy NGC 1637. 

"For multiple decades, we have been trying to determine exactly what the explosions of red supergiant stars look like," said Charlie Kilpatrick, a research assistant professor at Northwestern University, in a statement. "Only now, with [Webb], do we finally have the quality of data and infrared observations that allow us to say precisely the exact type of red supergiant that exploded and what its immediate environment looked like."

What made the original star, about 15 times more massive than the sun, remarkable was the thick blanket of dust that surrounded it. That shell hid much of the star’s brightness and made it appear much fainter and redder than it really was. With Webb’s powerful infrared vision, astronomers were able to see through that dust.

The researchers matched the explosion’s location to a single red, bright source. They used Hubble Space Telescope and Webb images to confirm it. The star was roughly 100,000 times brighter than the sun, yet appeared more than 100 times less luminous than it should have because of the dust around it. 

This discovery may help solve a long-standing mystery: Astronomers have known many massive red supergiants should explode, but far fewer have been spotted doing so. The new finding suggests maybe they've been there all along, just hidden behind heavy dust clouds that blocked their light from previous telescopes.

"I’ve been arguing in favor of that interpretation, but even I didn’t expect to see such an extreme example as SN2025pht," said Kilpatrick, first author on the research published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters. "It would explain why these more massive supergiants are missing because they tend to be dustier."

The dust was keeping secrets about the star's chemistry, too. Most red supergiants are surrounded by dust made from oxygen-rich minerals, but this one’s dust was mostly graphite, a carbon-based chemical more often associated with other types of stars. That may mean some red supergiants go through unexpected changes late in life, perhaps shedding material or mixing elements in ways that alter the grains they produced.

Scientists look forward to using Webb to study more dusty environments around dying stars. Future telescopes, such as NASA’s upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, will help by monitoring dusty red supergiants and, with any luck, catching them in their final death throes.

"With the launch of JWST and upcoming Roman launch, this is an exciting time to study massive stars and supernova progenitors," Kilpatrick said. "The quality of data and new findings we will make will exceed anything observed in the past 30 years."

In If I Had Legs, I'd Kick You, Rose Byrne's face becomes the close-up canvas for a wildly unsettling comedy-drama. Written and directed by Mary Bronstein — her first feature in 17 years following Yeast — the film follows Byrne as Linda, a mother hanging on by a thread during what appears to be a prolonged nervous spiral. Mirroring her experience, it's a deeply anxiety-inducing work, whose high-strung energy is owed to a daring audio-visual approach that ought not to be sustainable, but ends up hair-raising and hilarious in the long run. The result, in a word, is excellent.

Through their deft command of drama, Byrne and Bronstein make a formidable pair, as they present the slow demolition of one the most alluringly unpleasant protagonists in modern cinema (alongside Marianne Jean-Baptiste's Pansy in Mike Leigh's recent Hard Truths).

The film is as illuminating as it is upsetting, presenting new cinematic dimensions to facets of motherhood rarely touched upon in Hollywood (prior to Nightbitch last year, the most prominent example was arguably Tully back in 2018). At a glance, If I Had Legs, I'd Kick You is Uncut Gems for postpartum depression (it was notably produced by Josh Safdie and longtime Safdie brothers writer/editor Ronald Bronstein). However, its narrative and aesthetic language is entirely its own, from its occasional hypnotic flourishes, to its distressing psychological portrait of a mother on the verge of a nervous breakdown, told almost entirely in close up.

You can trace the film's fantastic dramatic setup across its first four scenes — three of which are therapy sessions of different kinds. Normally, it isn't worth breaking down a festival release so numerically, but If I Had Legs is so dramatically fine-tuned that each moment feels like an escalation. It begins on a tight close-up of Byrne's Linda, and stays there for longer than is comfortable. In fact, it gets increasingly claustrophobic, as an off-screen doctor (Bronstein herself) discusses Linda's care options for her preschool-aged daughter (Delaney Quinn), who eats partially through a feeding tube in her stomach, which Linda insists is unnecessary.

Right from the word go, Linda's judgement as a mother is in question. However, it's hard to keep casting aspersions on the character (or at least, to keep them at the forefront of one's mind) when Byrne delivers such a captivatingly troubled, melancholy, exhausted performance — and from which Bronstein refuses to avert the camera's gaze. However, when Linda leaves the appointment — a moment that might usually portend a calming interlude — the camera remains fixed on her at an uncomfortable proximity, as her daughter remains beyond the frame, asking repetitive questions, as children do. When they arrive home, there's still no peace for Linda, with her ongoing domestic cacophony crowned with the chaotic collapse of her bedroom ceiling, forcing her to relocate everyone to a cheap motel.

Linda's second session, held with her amusingly stone-faced therapist (Conan O'Brien) the next day, clues us into some of her self-destructive tendencies. However, her third and most surprising session is the most revealing. She walks right out of her therapist's office and down the hall to her own; she's also a therapist, setting up cycles of advice and therapy-speak that she either gives, or is given, but never adheres to herself. She has the right language, and the right emotional tools in theory, to thrive, but between a traveling husband who berates her over the phone, a doctor who thinks she’s a bad mother, and a daughter who she loves but who needs constant care, she doesn't have a moment to implement these changes or methods for self-care. 

This desperation is something Bronstein deftly aestheticizes, in ways that feel both prolonged and hyper-active, making Linda's anguish downright difficult to watch. The movie confronts a woman's unspoken uncertainties of motherhood in ways that are sometimes repulsive, but deftly navigated, with tremendous empathy for the movie's irascible subject.

In a strange but considered flourish, we almost never see Linda's daughter throughout the film, even though she exists off-screen. Anyone who enters Linda's orbit onscreen becomes the immediate object of her ire and fed-up tirades: her doctor, her therapist, a nagging hospital parking attendant, and even the motel's kindly superintendent, James (a rare screen role for A$AP Rocky). Some of Linda's rants are even laced with subtle racial animus; this is hardly an angel to whom Bronstein is trying to endear us.

By not seeing her young daughter quite as completely as these other characters (even the ones she despises), and by speaking to her dismissively, Linda creates a coping mechanism of sorts — a disconnected, passive façade that prevents her from placing her vulnerable child in the same category as these other irritants. She enacts motherhood — as the fulfilment of a social contract — on autopilot, conversing with her kid with the same repetitiveness with which she changes her mechanical feeding bag overnight (a process accompanied by drone-like beeping that weighs Linda down).

It's hard to shake the sense that not fully engaging with motherhood might not just be a need for Linda, or a survival mechanism, but a secret want she represses. In society’s eyes, the worst thing a mother can do is fail at the Sisyphean trials of parenthood. Perhaps this is something Linda has internalized. It certainly goes hand-in-hand with the guilt she does fully express, over her child's physical condition and sickness, which only adds to her reasons for not meeting her daughter's gaze.

However, actually observing other people around her doesn't mean Linda fully connects with them either. At one point, when she picks up a baby that isn't hers, the infant's close-up is accompanied by shrill and piercing sound design (by Filipe Messeder) that lasts an eternity. Everyone is, to some degree, an annoying abstraction to her, whether by intent or by the mere happenstance of her state of mind. This also applies to one of her unstable patients, Caroline (Danielle Macdonald), a new mother who seems on the verge of psychosis, and yet lucidly expresses the same feelings of postpartum doubt with which Linda has been living for so long — but refuses to see (or accept).

As Linda visits her apartment each night to check on the hole in her ceiling, it takes on unexpected physical properties that yield strange visions. This turns the literal and symbolic chasm into something practically metaphysical. Maybe it's caused by Linda's lack of sleep, or maybe it's something deep within her subconscious lashing against the walls of her mind. Either way, the resultant drama is thrilling, hilarious, and upsetting all at once, and it's largely owed to Byrne’s fearless, fully embodied commitment to the part.

Rose Byrne delivers a monumental performance. Credit: Photo by Logan White / Courtesy of A24

Bronstein knows exactly how to capture Byrne's nervous energy. The constant close-ups keep the character on edge, as though her motherhood (and her womanhood) were being interrogated, à la Carl Theodor Dreyer's close up-heavy silent classic The Passion of Joan of Arc.

Just when the camera starts to pull back from Linda's close-ups, promising the briefest of respite, it becomes just as stressful in other ways, with Byrne's fidgety body language conveying a burgeoning unease. Before long, relentless tight shots become a more desirable alternative, as if the best that we — and that Linda — could hope for is a moment of familiar discomfort, rather than a novel one with unexpected results. 

Where Byrne begins her journey is the kind of fragile emotional place most great screen performances have to carefully build toward. But in If I Had Legs, I'd Kick You, the precipice of total breakdown is the character's baseline. Touch her and she might shatter, cutting you in the process.

Things never stop getting worse for Linda, and Byrne's depiction only grows more frayed. The character's difficulties build in completely absurd ways, resulting in moments that are as jaw-droppingly funny as they are physically cringe-worthy. It's the kind of film that'll make you squirm in your seat while laughing till you almost break a rib. But it'll also make you want to call your mom, owing to the depths of agony Byrne reaches into, playing a woman who speaks over everyone, and yet, wants desperately to be heard. 

Whether or not she deserves this particular hell is the kind of moral judgement the film practically never allows you to consider. The plot leaps forward with reckless abandon, just as mounting absurdities reach fever pitch, but the movie never breaks away from Byrne's gradual self-immolation. Her conception of Linda — as a person doing her best, driven to short-tempered cruelty and selfishness by her circumstances — is too multidimensional, and too lifelike, to ever truly be disliked. 

Just like Jean-Baptiste in Hard Truths, there isn't a single moment during which the torment driving Byrne's character to lash out isn't visible behind her eyes, begging to be recognized. It's a plea made all the more urgent by the fact that If I Had Legs, I'd Kick You feels in a constant state of hair-raising climax. And so, it grabs you by the collar and pulls you along for its harrowing plunge, forcing you to witness — and to understand — the worst yet most deeply human impulses a mother can have.

If I Had Legs, I’d Kick You was reviewed out of the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. It opens in limited release on Oct. 10, before going nationwide Oct. 24.
