What is the Plot of Mothers’ Instinct?

Set in the early ‘60s, Mothers’ Instinct follows best friends and neighbors Alice (Chastain) and Celine (Hathaway), who live an idyllic traditional lifestyle with manicured lawns, successful husbands, and sons of the same age. Life’s perfect harmony is suddenly shattered after a tragic accident. Guilt, suspicion, and paranoia combine to unravel their sisterly bond, and a psychological battle of wills begins as the maternal instinct reveals its darker side.

Hathaway and Chastain, along with Chastain’s partner Kelly Carmichael, will produce under their Freckle Films banner. Hathaway recently starred in Apple TV+’s “WeCrashed” and James Gray’s “Armageddon Time.” Chastain, after her Academy Award win for “The Eyes of Tammy Faye,” starred in “The Forgiven,” “George & Tammy,” and Netflix’s “The Good Nurse.”

Speaking to Parade, Chastain told about the classic movie she likes to do a remake. She said “I was just talking to Anne Hathaway about this! It would be so fun to remake [the 1992 black comedy] Death Becomes Her. I’ll do either the Meryl Streep or Goldie Hawn role. You know, when it came out it was a huge flop. People thought
