Synopsis
Alice and Céline are neighbors and very close friends. They both enjoy a pleasant life, happy families and two sons who are growing up together. Everything gets complicated when Maxima, the son of Céline, dies when he falls down out a window under Alice eyes. Céline can't get over his son death and blame her friend about the fatal accident, which will make both friends distance from each other and create a tension between the two families. The situation gets even worse when Alice starts suspecting Céline wants revenge by using her son Théo, which will drown her into a situation where imagination and reality, the good and the bad, are al mixed up. A thriller that takes as to older times and reminds to Hitchcock's films.

- 7.5 VarietyJessica Kiang
"A deliciously enjoyable, spiral-shaped descent into darkness (...) Both actresses are expressive but unreadable, adding greatly to the fun of guessing who is pretending and who is genuine.
Read - 7.5 Screen DailyWendy Ide
A meticulously-styled period piece (...) 'Mothers Instinct' is a polished package. The orchestral score pays homage to Hitchcock.
Read - 6.0 The Hollywood ReporterJordan Mintzer
A stylish, well-played retro thriller that doesn?t fully ignite (...) The film convincingly imitates the greats but never quite finds its own voice.
