In this heart-warming very funny film, a struggling gay writer (James McArdle) is forced to take care of four eccentric older women, including his own disabled mother (the wonderful Fionnula Flanagan) after friends dump their mums on him so they can swan off to Pride weekend in the tropics. The very opinionated and difficult women each have her own story to tell, and their host tries his best to accommodate them all the while dealing with his own anxiety issues. As Variety puts it, “Four Mothers earns itself a place in the mother-son pantheon… rare in its everyday tenderness, (it) sets the tone for a film packed with lovely, unforced observations.” Audience Award Best Feature BFI London Film Festival.
