Mouse

Kelly O’Sullivan, Alex Thompson
RELEASE Thu 17 Dec

In the summer of 2002, 17-year-olds Minnie and Callie are getting ready for their senior year of high school in Arkansas. Minnie and Callie are best friends, but they couldn’t be more different. Callie is confident, popular, and dreams of a life in the spotlight. Shy Minnie, on the other hand, prefers to stay in the background and is happy to let Callie take center stage. When a tragic accident suddenly puts an end to their friendship, Minnie is left completely devastated. 

Without her best friend, she must not only learn to cope with her loss, but also find her way—on her own for the first time—toward adulthood and a future that could go in any direction. She seeks support from Callie’s mother, Helen (Oscar-nominated actress Sophie Okonedo), with whom she develops a complicated yet special bond. *Mouse* is the third feature film by Kelly O’Sullivan and Alex Thompson, following *Saint Frances* and Ghostlight. With humor, warmth, and an eye for what remains unspoken, they tell a subtle and emotional story about loss, friendship, and the search for identity and sexuality. O’Sullivan wrote the screenplay and set the story in North Little Rock, Arkansas, where she grew up. Mouse had its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival, where it was warmly received and nominated for the Teddy Award for Best Feature Film.
