Our Review

Mothers’ Instinct

Verdict: Mothers' Instinct is tight, gripping film that reminds us why '90s-style mid-budget thrillers used to be so popular.

Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway play close neighbours whose bond is irretrievably broken after a tragedy.

Interstellar and Armageddon Time co-stars Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway have reunited once again for this psychological thriller.

Mothers’ Instinct, a remake of the 2018 French film of the same name, follows 1960s housewives and neighbours Céline (Hathaway) and Alice (Chastain).

They are so close they are practically family – their sons are best friends at school and their husbands Damian (Josh Charles) and Simon (Anders Danielsen Lie) get along like a house on fire.

This seemingly perfect suburban life is upended by a tragedy, which sparks feelings of guilt, suspicion and paranoia that slowly ruin the friendship.

Alice becomes determined to find proof to confirm her suspicion that her former friend is trying to hurt her family.

Simon brushes off her claims, insisting she is mentally unwell again. But is Alice paranoid or does she have a real reason to be scared of Céline?
