Four Mothers (15)

Dir: Darren Thornton | Ireland | 2024 | 89 mins

Cast | James McArdle, Fionnula Flanagan, Niamh Cusack, Dearbhla Molloy

Darren Thornton’s (A Date for Mad Mary) award-winning new comedy is the witty, disarming and tender story of one Irish son juggling four very different mothers. 

An adaptation of Gianni Di Gregorio’s Mid-August Lunch (2008), it follows Edward (James McArdle), an up-and-coming queer novelist who’s forced to balance press commitments with caring for his elderly mother. Pressure to go on a US book tour is mounting, but when his three closest friends head off on an impromptu Pride holiday – and leave their own ageing mothers in Edward’s care too – he must juggle a burgeoning career with the care of four eccentric, combative, and wildly different ladies over the course of one chaotic and unforgettable weekend.
