Mother, Couch
2023
Synopsis
Estranged siblings David, Gruffud, and Linda are brought together when their mother refuses to move from a large green couch in a furniture store, where they originally intended to collect a dresser. While cajoling and negotiating with her, the three children catch up on each other’s lives.
Editorial
Giving imaginative weight to emotional baggage, this uniquely surreal comedy upholsters disaffection in off-yellow tones and deadpan humor. Brilliant performances from an all-star cast—Ewan McGregor, in particular—bring captivating poignancy to an absurdist allegory of how family ties fray and mend.
