Mother Couch Reviews
indieWire
Samantha Bergeson
Could Larsson be the new Ari Aster?
Variety
J. Kim Murphy
Though Larsson builds from the increasingly existential dilemma in striking ways, "Mother, Couch" finds itself caught running in place before grasping for sentimentality in its final minutes.
Autostraddle
Drew Gregory
In narrative films, surrealism is a tool that services character, story, and themes, and if those elements are bland then the surrealism can only do so much.
Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
A collection of intriguing pieces that mostly sit there unassembled or out of context, their potential unfulfilled.
Slant Magazine
William Repass
Other than a sort of wistful quirkiness, it's not clear what Mother, Couch gains by skewing away from a more straightforward, streamlined family drama.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
Mother, Couch continually and ultimately evades ... emotions and realities for the game it's playing.
Movies We Texted About
Manuel São Bento
With superb performances from the entire cast, especially Ewan McGregor, the film openly and contemplatively explores family dynamics and unresolved conflicts that linger over the years.
Hey, Have You Seen ...?
Jared Mobarak
[Larsson] wants us to fill in the blanks. How does this story relate to our life? Its power demands our participation.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Like the title character, this contemplative exploration of fractured family dynamics seems to have something to say but instead just sits there.

Joseph Robinson
Strong performances and a compelling story save Mother, Couch from being completely absurd.
RogerEbert.com
Robert Daniels
I'm sure someone will find solace in a film attempting to emulate the angst that occurs when you have unresolved issues with your terrible parents. But "Mother, Couch" seems just as unresolved and just as terrible.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
Burstyn's character... is so utterly disagreeable that viewing the picture is a mostly anxious experience with not much of a reward at the end, which shifts to magic realist mode for lack of anywhere better to go.
Chicago Reader
Daniella Mazzio
Mother, Couch captures something real about family and aging, but it remains unsatisfactory.
Spectrum Culture
James Bone
Despite a frankly incredible cast of talent, Mother, Couch is bland, uninspiring rubbish for 99 percent of its thankfully brief running time.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
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.
The Playlist
Charles Barfield
"Mother, Couch" is a delightful, sometimes hard-hitting family drama that will stay with you for a long time after you watch.
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
This is a goofy-ass movie, where making sense is perhaps the third most important thing to writer/director Niclas Larsson
The Spool
Sarah Gorr
It's... a joy to see McGregor far from franchises and playing out a strange version of middle-aged confusion, grief, and fear.
Film Festival Today
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
McGregor is always a pleasure to watch, and Abraham, Burstyn, and Russell rank equally high. But without a solid screenplay-or rather, one that is not too clever by half-there's not just not much point to what we see.
MovieWeb
Julian Roman
Mother, Couch's strong lead performances from a stacked cast ultimately don't amount to much as the story takes a bewildering turn. The film evokes the theater of the absurd which might appeal to arthouse cinephiles.
