Kelly O’Sullivan and Alex Thompson made waves at Sundance in 2024 with Ghostlight, a tender drama about the players in a local community theater group. The duo returned at Berlinale with Mouse, another heartfelt, emotional film exploring complicated relationships, and based on early reviews, they’ve delivered another winner.
Starring Sophie Okonedo, Katherine Mallen Kupferer, Chloe Coleman, Tara Mallen, Iman Vellani, David Hyde Pierce, Mouse is set to hit theaters on November 6th courtesy of Independent Film Company, which also distributed Ghostlight. Clearly, they like being in the O’Sullivan and Thompson business.
SYNOPSIS: “It’s 2002, and best friends Minnie (Kupferer) and Callie (Coleman) are heading into their senior year of high school, with Minnie long living in the protective shadow of the charismatic and admired Callie. When their friendship is suddenly upended at the start of the summer, Minnie struggles to define her own identity and forms a complicated relationship with Callie’s poised, attentive mother (Okonedo), pulling her further from her own chaotic home.”
