PRAISE FOR MOTHER COUCH

“Mother, Couch is a triumph…. Could Larsson be the new Ari Aster?” – IndieWire

“Burstyn delivers one of her finest performances in a career filled with brilliant ones. Mother, Couch feels like a major new voice breaking through in cinema, and that’s always something to celebrate. McGregor is tasked with holding all the madness together, and his vulnerable, eccentric performance is the beating heart of this wild ride.” – Slash Film

“plush cinematic experience worth sinking into.” – Film Threat

“Burstyn’s performance is worth the price of admission. This 90-year-old acting treasure gets a very strange role to sink her teeth into and goes for the jugular. Sensational.” – Deadline

“Excellent performances from Ewan McGregor, Ellen Burstyn, Rhys Ifans and Lara Flynn Boyle…. It’s especially rewarding to see Boyle return in her most notable role for years….” – The Guardian

“Mother, Couch is a boiling point of a picture. Written and directed by Niclas Larsson (and based on Jerker Virdborg’s novel Mamma i soffa), this is an edgy story about small discourtesies and how they sometimes build into something big, nasty, and violent.” – The Film Stage
