Thriller fans have been hailing an ‘amazing’ Anne Hathaway film as both ‘wild’ and filled with ‘twists and turns’ after it premiered on Netflix.
It’s undeniably a glorious year for cinema, what with the previous releases of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Zendaya’s Challengers and The Bikeriders, as well as upcoming flicks Gladiator II and Babygirl to look forward to.
Another film that premiered on the silver screen earlier this year is an unsettling psychological drama set in suburban 60s America.

Starring Anne Hathaway as Céline Jennings and Jessica Chastain as her next-door neighbour Alice Bradford, the film chronicles the aftermath of Céline’s son Max (played by Baylen D. Bielitz) devastatingly falling to his death.
Following Max’s accident, Céline begins to develop a close bond with Alice’s son Theo (Eamon O'Connell), which quickly drives Alice into madness.
Believing that her best friend is gaslighting her, Alice confides in her husband Simon (Anders Danielsen Lie) that she believes Céline murdered his mother Granny Jean (Caroline Lagerfelt), before later snooping around her friends’ house for clues.

The final act sees Alice and Céline coming to blows, with only one parent reigning supreme.
Just months after getting the big screen treatment, the Benoît Delhomme-directed offering, titled Mothers’ Instinct, is already being served on Netflix.
And it’s safe to say subscribers are obsessed with the project which is based on the 2018 French-language film and subsequent novel of the same name.
