What is Mother, Couch about?
“The members of a dysfunctional family find themselves mysteriously trapped in an antiquated furniture store when their elderly matriarch (Ellen Burstyn) suddenly refuses to get up from one of the display couches,” the synopsis for the movie reads. Reluctantly assembled, her three estranged children – David (Ewan McGregor), Gruffudd (Rhys Ifans), and Linda (Lara Flynn Boyle) – must figure out how to escape this bizarre predicament. With the help of the store managers, Marco & Marcus (F. Murray Abraham), and their daughter Bella (Taylor Russell) the siblings embark on a mind-bending odyssey that forces them to face life-altering truths about their own lives and upbringing.”
Niclas Larsson is making his feature-film directorial debut with Mother, Couch. Larsson also wrote the script for the movie, which is based on a 2020 Swedish novel titled Mamma i soffa by Jerker Virdborg.
“I had to make something bold for my directorial debut,” Larsson told PEOPLE about the movie. “Something unexpected and unseen. In my wildest dreams, I couldn’t imagine doing that without this remarkable cast. It has been a wild ride and it is a wild ride we present to the audience. I cannot wait to get this strange and beautiful story out in the world.”
Mother, Couch had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2023. The movie will open in New York City on July 5, 2024, before expanding to Los Angeles on July 12, 2024. It will then begin showing at additional theaters around the country in the coming weeks.
