Mothers’ Instinct is a perfectly solid domestic thriller with two Oscar-winning movie stars that barely got a North American release.
The film, an adaptation of a 2018 French movie, is not obscure art-house fare. It’s a satisfying thriller-melodrama starring two Oscar winners, Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway. Directed by Benoît Delhomme, Mothers’ Instinct isn’t exactly on par with The Hand That Rocks the Cradle or Fatal Attraction, shining emblems of the heyday of domestic suspense. But it is at least gesturing toward that once beloved but now moldering genre, albeit with a bit more drama.
There were no press screenings of the film, but I had a blast seeing the movie in the theater as a paying customer, at the one showtime offered at the one theater in the whole of New York City where the movie was playing last Friday. The scarcity of screenings seems to indicate that its US distributor, indie darling Neon, has chosen to bury the film, perhaps because Mothers’ Instinct did not get good reviews or make any waves at the box office when it was released overseas awhile ago.
