Mouse Expands Nationwide on November 13: Sophie Okonedo Leads the Berlinale Coming-of-Age Drama Into U.S. Theaters
Coming-of-age drama Mouse expands nationwide across the United States on November 13, following a limited U.S. opening on November 6. Directed by Kelly O'Sullivan and Alex Thompson and written by O'Sullivan, the film stars Sophie Okonedo, Katherine Mallen Kupferer, Chloe Coleman, Iman Vellani and David Hyde Pierce. It runs 120 minutes, is rated R, and is released by Independent Film Company.
Set in suburban Little Rock, Arkansas, in 2002, the story follows high-school best friends Callie (Chloe Coleman) and Minnie (Katherine Mallen Kupferer), whose relationship is upended on the eve of their senior year. Left adrift, Minnie forms a complicated friendship with Callie's mother, Helen (Sophie Okonedo). It is O'Sullivan and Thompson's follow-up to Ghostlight, again centered on grief and human connection.
Mouse premiered in the Panorama section of the 76th Berlin International Film Festival on February 13, 2026, and is nominated for Best Feature at the 2026 Gotham Awards. Sophie Okonedo will receive the Supporting Actress Award for Film for her performance at the Critics Choice Association's Celebration of Black Cinema & Television on November 16 in Los Angeles.
