French director Benoît Delhomme (“At Eternity’s Gate”, “The Theory of Everything”) is joined by two Academy Award winning actresses in his remake of Olivier Masset-Depasse’s 2018 psychological thriller “Mothers’ Instinct”. The film stars Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway, a duo who immediately makes this a must-watch movie. The film’s newly released first trailer only confirms it.
The story is an adaptation of Barbara Abel’s 2012 novel “Derrière la haine”. In it Chastain and Hathaway play two 1960s housewives, mothers, neighbors, and close friends. The relationship begins to crumble following an unspeakable tragedy. Jealousy, suspicions, perhaps even something more sinister – it’s all teased in the impressively well done trailer. I can’t wait to see how this story uncoils and both Chastain and Hathaway look to be perfectly cast.
“Mothers’ Instinct” has been picked up by NEON and is coming soon. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

I think the trailer gives just enough “away” while leaving quite a psychological mystery/thriller still to be experienced, led by two of the best in the business. Looks like a winner.
I think so too. REALLY intrigued by this one.
Anne Hathaway reminds me of Emma Watkins 🧡
Yep, I’m watching this. This looks awesome. Queen Anne and the Chastain.
How’s that for a killer duo?!?!?
INDEED. I’d like to be in the middle of that and let them do bad things to me. 🙂
Not my usual fare but I’m in for this!
I’m really intrigued by it. Hopefully it turns out good.
Will pass on this one. The trailer tells me this one is not for me. Plus I still haven’t forgiven Chastain for insisting on making a terrible movie about Tammy Fae Bakker and then getting rewarded for it. Nope.
Haha. I was not a fan of her Tammy Faye movie. I am looking forward to this one though. It looks pretty twisted.
