Mother’s Instincts (2024)

My Review

Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain play best friends and suburbanite neighbors who seem to have everything when a tragic accident shatters their lives and changes them forever in “Mother’s Instincts.” French cinematographer Benoit Delhomme was meticulous in details creating this psychological thriller in his directorial debut. Sarah Conradt penned the lucid screenplay, a remake of a 2018 French language film and an adaptation of the 2012 novel of the same name by Barbara Abel.

Hathaway and Chastain deliver mesmerizing performances, with a supporting cast that includes Josh Charles, Anders Danielsen Lie, Caroline Lagerfelt, Eamon O’Connell, and Baylen D. Bielitz. The watchable “Mother’s Instincts” was not successful at the box office for producers Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway, Antoncorp, Freckle Films, Mosaic Media Group, Versus, and Neon.
