In writer-director Laurence Vannicelli’s new film Mother, May I?, Kyle Gallner and Holland Roden experience a strange, Oedipal nightmare that involves a dead mom, some magic mushrooms, and an unexpected transformation. So of course we couldn’t be more excited.
Read the full synopsis below:
Emmett wants to clean and flip his recently deceased mother’s house: get in, get out, and avoid any trauma still lingering from when she abandoned him as a young child. Anya, his fiancé, see’s this as an opportunity to finally force Emmett to deal with his trauma because she believes it is preventing him from being the partner she needs. So she convinces him to take mushrooms to get him to let go. But something strange happens while they’re tripping: she starts behaving like his mother. The next morning he wakes up sober, but she still won’t drop the act… Anya loves playing games – is this her taking it too far? Or did his mother’s spirit somehow possess her?
Now check out the haunting and bizarre new trailer:
Laurence Vannicelli developed Mother, May I? with his partner, Daisy Long, a former ballerina, who choreographed the dancing seen in the film’s supernatural sequences.
Chris Mulkey also stars in the film alongside Gallner and Roden.
Mother, May I? comes to theaters and VOD on July 21, 2023.
