Mother's Instinct is a really solid dramatic thriller that will draw you in and keep you hooked.
It follows suburban housewives Celine and Alice, whose lives are plunged into turmoil when a tragic loss throws doubt over their relationship with dramatic consequences.
From a story perspective the film is really solid. It has great momentum throughout and accelerates towards a thrilling final act. I do think that maybe the middle could have been stretched out a touch. They perhaps sold themselves short with only a 90 minute runtime as I think there was more scope to develop some elements of the story. That being said what they do have is all good so this isn't a major complaint.
Really though this film is all about the two lead women who are incredible. Jessica Chastain in particular is sublime and her performance alone gives this film an extra star. Anne Hathaway alongside her is brilliant and the two characters are just so well put together. Even if nothing else about this film appeals to you, it is worth watching to see these two fantastic performances.
If you are looking for a solid thriller that will draw you in and give you some fantastic performances then Mother's Instinct will most definitely deliver.
