I watched ‘Mother, Couch’ (2023). It starts off as a typical dry and quirky (in that indie film festival kind of way) comedy but becomes something quite serious and contemplative by the end. It is very open-ended by design, which I think put a lot of people off based on their reviews. It’s also not funny in a mainstream laugh-out-loud comedy film kind of way, so I think that’s another reason why audiences were so split over it. I think it’s quite a good film though, definitely worth watching considering its short runtime.
