Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain’s psychological thriller Mothers’ Instinct can now be digitally purchased and rented in the UK.

Marking the directorial debut of Benoît Delhomme, who provided cinematography on the likes of The Theory of Everything and Lawless,

the movie chronicles the paranoid shift between 1960s neighbours Céline and Alice after one of their kids dies on the other’s watch.

If you missed it at the cinema, you can now buy or rent Mothers’ Instinct from Prime Video, iTunes, Microsoft Store and other digital retailers.

Following its theatrical release in March, the movie was welcomed by lukewarm reviews from the media and now sits on a 55% Rotten Tomatoes score.

“The movie ends up with such wild absurdity that it’s difficult to recall the interesting and plausible touches of dysfunction and ambiguity that went into the opening scenes

– particularly some business concerning a kid’s toy bunny,” wrote The Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw.

“But when the curtain rises on the third act, it is time for some very ripe and silly overacting and homicidal machinations which are wince-making in the wrong way.”

Empire Magazine was kinder in its four-star assessment, though, deciding: “The real power of Mothers’ Instinct lies in its dynamite cast. Hathaway, whose hair and costuming has echoes of Jackie Kennedy, is outstanding as a mother trying to reacclimate to society after a terrible loss.

“It’s the hints at something more sinister lying behind the sincerity of her performance that makes her such a treat to watch. Chastain provides a worthy foil, suffering from her own overpowering guilt and anxiety while simultaneously trying to create an idyllic life for her husband and son.”
