Mother's Instinct- The film

WHAT A FUCKING DOWNER!!!! Shit!

I have to say- Chastain has quickly become one of my top actresses

And that Anne--- Between this film and Eileen- she is no longer a thirsty bitch to me-

She is a fucking talented as hell actress who was merely annoying a decade ago-

She is picking some awesome roles (rolls)

Is it on streaming?

Apple TV

I wasn't anticipating that ending

RR2- Me neither--- The movie was a mystery to me. And I don't quite understand it, or know if I am supposed to?

Very French. Would have suited Huppert and Deneuve 20 years ago.

So TRUE R4

It's a remake of this French movie (I haven't seen it).

Has Jessica Chastain had eye work?

This movie recast the leads with Denise Richards and Vivica A. Fox and this would be pure Lifetime.

It wasn’t fun enough to be Lifetime.

The French film preview at R6 looks much more compelling than the Hollywood-ized version with Chastain and Hathaway that I just watched. Having said that, I enjoyed the film and it did keep me guessing with an ending I didn't anticipate.

It's on Hulu now.

A big wasted opportunity with a great premise, a Lifetime-level script, and some absolutely forgettable actors (the child who plays Theo is egregiously bad, and the husbands are interchangeable to the point you can't remember who is married to whom). Jessica Chastain is fine but adds nothing. HOWEVER ...

Our dear AnnE Hathaway understood the assignment as a crazy suburban bitch who dresses like Jackie Kennedy and does her best to camp up the movie in the tradition of horror hags. We see her in white gloves going shopping; black gloves committing evil deeds; and blood-red dishwashing gloves after killing someone. She was the only thing that kept me watching with her Crawford eyebrows and Joker red lipstick.

Interesting. Might check it out, but it's gotten HORRIBLE reviews.

R12, it's terrible and I'm a fan of Chastain and Hathaway

Agreed, but AnnE gets it. Her performance harkens back to "Who Slew Auntie Roo?", "What's the Matter With Helen?" and all those movies with middle-aged actresses chewing the scenery as they go nuts.

She would be the PERFECT star for a remake of "Lady in a Cage."
