Edward is an Irish novelist whose career and love life have stalled due to the demands of caring for his ailing mother Alma, though he’s kept sane by a group of friends in similar situations. That is, however, until those friends spontaneously decide to make a break for a Pride festival in the Canaries, leaving their mothers on Edward and Alma’s doorstep. Suddenly, an already stressed Edward has four very different older women to look after - and he’s soon pushed to breaking point.

Winner of the Audience Award at London Film Festival 2024, Darren Thornton’s (A Date For Mad Mary) Ireland-set remake of the Italian film Mid-August Lunch is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. The impeccable cast skilfully capture the film’s emotional core while delivering knockout comedic performances.

★★★★ “A perfectly cast film… with Fionnula Flanagan doing some of her best work.” - Harry Guerin, RTE

“Director Darren Thornton, who co-wrote Four Mothers with his brother Colin, handles [the] farcical elements beautifully… Comic spark abounds.” - Nick Davis, Sight & Sound
