Mothers’ Instinct starring Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway set for home premiere on 13 May 2024

Studiocanal has just confirmed the home premiere of the much-anticipated psychological thriller, Mothers’ Instinct, set for release on 13th May 2024. This gripping film stars the formidable talents of Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway, both Academy Award winners, who play best friends and neighbours caught in a web of guilt, paranoia and maternal love gone awry in 60s suburbia following a tragic accident that involves one of their children.

Directed by Benoît Delhomme, renowned for his cinematography in acclaimed films such as The Theory of Everything and A Most Wanted ManMothers’ Instinct marks his directorial debut. The film also features performances by Anders Danielsen Lie, known for The Worst Person in the World, and Josh Charles from The Good Wife.

Set against a backdrop of seemingly perfect lives that unravel in the face of tragedy, Mothers’ Instinct delves into the complex nature of a friendship tested by unforeseeable circumstances. The story follows Alice (played by Chastain) and Céline (played by Hathaway), whose bond is progressively poisoned by a harrowing mix of emotions, leading to a compelling clash that uncovers a darker aspect of maternal love.

The film has been met with critical acclaim, earning four-star ratings and being described as “a taut, emotive thriller you won’t soon forget”. Mothers’ Instinct will be available for purchase or rent starting from 13th May, promising a home-viewing experience that explores the depths of friendship, tragedy and the complexities of a mother’s love.
