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.

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.

Peter Rainer FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) I'm not sure what's going on in this film, but it does grip you because the characters are well-defined and the acting is terrific. Aug 3, 2024 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times From start to finish, it’s an original, wholly unpredictable experience. It’s also, by turns, gripping, provocative, head-scratching and disturbing, and is likely to divide viewers with its dreamlike ambitions and metaphorical musings. Jul 16, 2024 Full Review Daniella Mazzio Chicago Reader Mother, Couch captures something real about family and aging, but it remains unsatisfactory. Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Nicholas Bell Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) An absurdist, existential exercise on grief and regret, Mother, Couch benefits from an exemplary cast in this wearying, nightmarish scenario of familial dysfunction. Rated: 3/5 Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Manuel Betancourt FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) I don't know if it all comes together, but everyone is so entrancing that you just want to keep watching to see what the hell is going to happen next. Aug 3, 2024 Full Review Jackie K. Cooper jackiekcooper.com Always great to see Lara Flynn Boyle but this movie is a struggle. Rated: 4/10 Jul 30, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

John E It may be "original" and have a tremendously talented cast, but I left the theater wondering why I lost 96 minutes of my life for one good scene (McGregor's 911 call). Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
