FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://movieswetextedabout.com/mother-couch-review-a-surreal-journey-through-family-dynamics-and-existential-conflict/
"Mother, Couch challenges the viewer to dive deeply into complex themes of family, grief, and acceptance.
Niclas Larsson adapts the source material with a mix of dark humor, ambiguity, and symbolism, creating a narrative that's as surreal as it's thought-provoking. 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.
While it may not be entirely accessible to the general audience, it offers a rich experience for those willing to interpret its multiple layers and meanings."
Rating: B
