Best friends and neighbors Alice and Celine both live an idyllic traditional lifestyle with manicured lawns, successful husbands and sons of the same age. Life’s perfect harmony is suddenly shattered after a tragic accident. Guilt, suspicion and paranoia combine to unravel their sisterly bond and a psychological battle of wills begins as the maternal instinct reveals its darker side.
Though set in the 60s, almost a piece-by-piece remake to the 2018 Belgian-French original, #MothersInstinct plays like the 90s psychological domestic thriller exploring motherhood & traumas with a li'l twist. Nothing too special, but sure - Chastain & Hathaway is a deadly combo we can't say no to.
