Mother Couch Movie (2024) Trailer - Plot Synopsis: 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. 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. Boasting “sensational” performances from an “A-List cast" (Deadline), Mother, Couch marks director Niclas Larsson as "a major new voice breaking through in cinema." (Slash Film).

Starring:: Niclas Larsson, Ewan McGregor, Rhys Ifans, Taylor Russell, Ellen Burstyn, Lake Bell, Lara Flynn Boyle, F. Murray Abraham

00:03You ready to leave, Mom?
00:05What did she say to you?
00:06She said she wanted to stay.
00:09And you?
00:10Same.
00:11Are you alright?
00:12I'm fine. I'm...
00:14I'm just not going with you.
00:18That's your mom up there?
00:20Is there something wrong?
00:22What is going on?
00:23Who is that?
00:24That's my older sister, Linda.
00:26My mom is upstairs on a sofa.
00:28How long have you been here?
00:29How long has she been here?
00:30Two, three hours.
00:31Why don't we just call someone and come pick her up?
00:33Do you guys think you're leaving pretty soon?
00:36You didn't have to go all crazy just to get the three of us together.
00:40She could stay here.
00:41We cannot stay.
00:42Maybe she's trying to tell us something, you know?
00:44I mean, Mom, we're going to have to carry you up here if you don't want to leave by your own feet.
00:47Oh, good luck with that.
00:50As soon as you grab my arms and legs, I'll throw myself all around and I'll bite you and I'll kick you.
00:56And if you get as far as the stairs, I will fall and hit my head so hard it'll burst.
01:05Who are you?
01:06You a part of the family?
01:07Yeah, sure.
01:09People tend to get confused in a place like this.
01:12Do you think we're here for her?
01:13We always encourage our clients to leave.
01:18It's hard being a parent.
01:19You know that you're doing harm all the time.
01:22You feel like you want to apologize, but for what?
01:25For being a parent?
01:26What's your thinking, son?
01:28I don't know.
01:30You don't stab someone in the back.
01:32Not even family.
01:34I saved you.
01:35Saved me from what?
01:38I'm sorry!
01:55I'm sorry.
02:01To new furniture, I suppose.
02:04To new furniture!
