    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

A kennel sends him a border collie that's undisciplined because of abuse. Despite a series of mishaps, Jon decides to keep trying with the dog, and he rents a dilapidated farm house to give the dog room to run. A local handyman refers Jon to a woman who might be able to help him train the dog. Reluctantly, Jon gives her a try. Is the dog the problem, or the owner?
