'Mother, Couch,' which begins playing in theaters in July, also stars Rhys Ifans, Lara Flynn Boyle, Taylor Russell, Lake Bell and F. Murray Abrahamexclusively with PEOPLE. The film stars Academy Award-winning Burstyn, 91, as a mother whose tension with her children — portrayed by McGregor, 53, Rhys Ifans and Lara Flynn Boyle — comes to a head during a family outing to a furniture store when she outright refuses to stand up from a couch.
Bewildered by his mother's bizarre insistence on staying at the store, David enlists his siblings to speak with their mother and convince her to leave to no avail. When David suggests they will carry Burstyn's character out of the store, the family matriarch promises she will fight them if they physically touch her — leading the siblings to hopelessly coordinate to determine the source of her discontent.
An official synopsis for the film describes the characters as members of a "dysfunctional family" whose relationships are put to the test when Burstyn's character refuses to leave the store."Reluctantly assembled, her three estranged children – David, Gruffudd and Linda – must figure out how to escape this bizarre predicament," the synopsis reads.
"I had to make something bold for my directorial debut," Larsson adds. "Something unexpected and unseen. In my wildest dreams, I couldn’t imagine doing that without this remarkable cast. It has been a wild ride and it is a wild ride we present to the audience. I cannot wait to get this strange and beautiful story out in the world."Taylor Russellopens in theaters in New York City July 5.
