Mother’s Instinct (2018)

A horrible accident will tear two women apart, and the consequences will echo to their families.

One of the best modern Hitchcockian thrillers you have ever seen! Based on Barbara Abel’s novel, writer Giordano Gederlini and writer/director Olivier Masset-Depasse bring to the screen a thriller that will constantly have you on the edge of your seats. Losing a child is the parents’ worst fear. There is no coming back from that, and Masset-Depasse projects that loss and initial suffering in a way that you want the film to end right there and then. But it doesn’t.

From then on, the plot thickens by adding mystery to the insurmountable drama. Gederlini, Masset-Depasse, and editor Damien Keyeux build up the suspense on the already existing drama and advance the story to a psychological thriller, toying with delusion and paranoia, sometimes informing you more than the heroes and sometimes less. So, what you know or you think you know changes from sequence to sequence, and all you can do is accept the worst-case scenarios, unable to do anything about them, regardless of how much you want to. And then there is the ending… But that is something you will have to experience without any warning.

Veerle Baetens, Anne Coesens, Mehdi Nebbou, and Arieh Worthalter have great chemistry. Baetens and Coesens, especially, become victims of love—that feeling that is meant to unite. Yet it can be the source of the most unfathomable absurdities we have ever encountered or caught ourselves doing when we experience it to the extreme. The same applies to hatred.
