Celine (Anne Hathaway) and Alice (Jessica Chastain) embrace in Mothers' Instinct
The Big Picture For the girls and gays around the world, seeing Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway go toe-to-toe in a ‘60s-set drama is how I’d imagine people felt the first time Godzilla took on Kong. Two titans of the industry, each with their own Oscar and several nominations, dressed in Jackie-esque outfits as they fix cocktails and pretend they aren’t on the brink of mental collapse, sounds like what cinema was created for… on paper.
Related 'Trap,' 'Rebel Moon' Director’s Cut, and This Week’s Best New Releases, Reviewed and Ranked Two beloved yet divisive filmmakers release movies on the big screen this week and we've reviewed them both. However, Mothers' Instinct just can’t decide what film it wants to be, resulting in an uneven tone that affects everything, from the performances to the pacing. It starts to simmer into a Hitchcockian thriller of deceit, and while Delhomme masterfully creates palpable tension as one woman hides from another, it takes away from all the characterizations and personal drama that you thought was what you came for.
